Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes until well combined.
Step 3: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Brush the honey-ginger sauce generously over each piece.
Step 4: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, basting with additional sauce every 10 minutes, until the skin is caramelized and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
