Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt until the marinade is well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish, arranging them in a single layer. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
Midway through baking, baste the chicken with the juices from the baking dish to enhance flavor and keep it moist.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken for garnish and serve warm with your choice of sides.
