Enjoy tender, juicy chicken thighs glazed with a sweet and savory honey soy marinade, topped with fresh herbs and citrus for a flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on) (Key to juicy, flavorful meat with crispy skin.)
  • 0.25 cup Honey (Adds sweetness that caramelizes into a sticky glaze.)
  • 0.25 cup Soy sauce (Provides savory depth and umami richness.)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) (Boosts flavor with aromatic warmth.)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated) (Adds a zesty, slightly spicy note that balances sweetness.)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil (A small splash enhances the nutty aroma in the marinade.)
  • 2 pieces Spring onions (sliced) (For a fresh, mild crunch and vibrant color.)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted) (For a subtle crunch and nutty finish.)
  • 2 pieces Lime wedges (Brightens the dish with a hint of citrus when squeezed on top.)

Instructions 

  • Mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  • Marinate the chicken thighs in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the chicken thighs for 35 minutes until cooked through and skin is crispy.
  • Garnish with sliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Notes

For extra flavor, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes to enhance crispiness.
