Serving Size

Ingredients

• 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup honey
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1. Preparation:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Marinate:
   • Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl or a ziplock bag.
   • Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
3. Cook:
   • Transfer the chicken thighs, along with the marinade, to a baking dish. Arrange them in a single layer.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the skin is crispy.
   • Halfway through baking, baste the chicken with the pan juices for extra flavor and moisture.
4. Garnish & Serve:
   • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
   • Serve hot with your choice of side dish.
