Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Tabasco sauce, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels, and place them in the bowl with the marinade. Toss to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up if using bone-in pieces.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
For an extra crispy finish, set the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish and serve hot with your preferred side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
