Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 inch piece, grated Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, raw honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the honey is well incorporated into the mixture.
Place the chicken thighs in the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin-side up if using skin-on thighs.
Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken thighs and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a knife.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
