Ingredients

For the Chicken

4-6 pieces bone-in chicken thighs for juiciness and flavor retention

For the Marinade

4-5 cloves fresh garlic minced
½ cup pure honey adds sweetness
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce for flavor without overwhelming saltiness
2 tablespoon rice vinegar introduces subtle tang
salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

baking dish
mixing bowl
meat thermometer

Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray your baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.
Mix together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a bowl to create the glaze.
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the baking dish and pour the honey-garlic sauce over them, ensuring they are coated.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown.
Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce from the pan over the chicken.
