Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup pure honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken in half of the sauce for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the marinated chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the thighs, pour in the remaining marinade, and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73°C).
- Let rest for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions. Serve warm with rice or vegetables.
