Instructions
To make the amazing Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs, simply follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, salt, and rice vinegar.
3. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator).
4. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
5. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Baste: Halfway through baking, baste the chicken thighs with the marinade for added flavor.
7. Broil for Crispiness (Optional): For extra crispy skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken before serving to add a pop of color.
