Should I use boneless or bone-in chicken thighs?
You can use either boneless chicken thighs or bone in. However, when using chicken thighs with bones, you cook time may be longer. I recommend using a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken before removing from the oven. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
Making the marinate sauce.
Using a large mixing bowl or gallon size freezer bag combine all the ingredients below together.
Add chicken thighs to the marinate sauce and refrigerate.
How long should Chicken Thighs marinate?
Chicken thighs are best marinated for one hour prior to cooking but can be marinate for up to 24 hours or as little as 5 minutes. If you don’t have time to marinate chicken thighs you can still, make this recipe. Just add chicken thighs to the baking dish, make the marinate sauce and pour over the chicken thighs.
How to make Honey Soy Chicken Thighs
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, and vinegar, and ginger. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer chicken to bowl with the marinade. Cover and marinade the chicken for at least 10 minutes. The long the better. (Overnight is recommended)
Step 3
Preheat oven to 450. Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Place chicken close together and pour marinade over top of chicken. Back for 30-35 minutes flipping chicken about halfway through cook time to ensure chicken doesn’t dry out on one side.
Step 4
Once internal thermometer reaches 165 remove chicken from the oven.
Let chicken cool about 10 minutes before serving.
