Honey Garlic Soy Chicken

March 10, 2021

The easiest chicken recipe you can make. The marinade turns into the sauce and it flavors the chicken perfectly. 

Heavy on the garlic, sweet with honey and salty from the soy. The fresh ginger and chili peppers are SOOO good. The perfect level of heat – just know if you eat a pepper, they are HOT. 

I served this with jasmine coconut rice and roasted broccoli. So simple and delicious. 

A quick marinade while the oven preheats – the garlic, ginger and honey do their job quickly. Of course the salty and rich soy sauce (or tamari) get tenderize the chicken thighs even more. Everyone in my family loved it and I’m sure yours will too!

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425F.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the tamari, honey, garlic, black pepper and ginger together. Add in the chicken and toss to coat with the sauce. Let sit until the oven is preheated (around 20 minutes is perfect).
When the oven is preheated, transfer the chicken and all the sauce to a heavy duty skillet (cast iron works great). Bake the chicken for 10 minutes. Remove and turn the chicken thighs over. Place the chili peppers into the pan, around the chicken.
Bake for 8 minutes. Remove and turn the chicken thighs over for the final time. Bake for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken is browned.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with jasmine rice.
