Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and rub them lightly with olive oil. Place them in a baking dish, skin-side up.
Generously pour half of the honey glaze over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and brush the reserved glaze over the chicken thighs. Be sure to cover every surface to achieve a rich, sticky coating.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized.
Optional: For extra crispiness, broil the chicken on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Pair with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
