Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 chicken thighs bone-in
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Season the thighs and sear skin-side down in oil until golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk the honey, garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar together.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken and transfer to a 400F oven.
  4. Bake 25 minutes, basting once, until the glaze is sticky and the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Bone-in thighs stay juicy and cost a fraction of breasts.
