Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.
Add minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, salt, fresh thyme, and lemon zest to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the glaze mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil or lid, baste the chicken with the pan juices, and continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has slightly thickened.
Optional: To achieve a more caramelized glaze, broil the chicken on high for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Whole30 honey glazed chicken with your favorite side of vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
