Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure they are well coated.

  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Interesting Facts

  • Marinating the chicken in soy sauce helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Baking the chicken with the skin on helps to lock in moisture and create a crispy outer layer.
  • Garnishing with sesame seeds and green onions adds a nice crunch and freshness to the dish.
