Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and place them in a baking dish skin-side up. Brush evenly with half of the honey soy glaze.
  3. Step 3: Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until skin is caramelized and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
