Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken over and sear for another 2 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey ginger glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, grated ginger, soy sauce, lemon juice, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the honey ginger glaze generously over the chicken thighs.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
