Description
Delicious and easy Soy-Garlic Chicken Thighs marinated in savory soy sauce and garlic, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, honey (or brown sugar), vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- If roasting, place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and caramelized. If pan-searing, cook thighs in the skillet for about 7-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve.
Notes
Let the chicken marinate for a longer time for better flavor. For crispy skin, pan-sear the chicken first before finishing in the oven.
