Achieving perfectly roasted chicken thighs requires thoughtful arrangement on your baking sheet. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up, ensuring they have enough space between them to allow heat and air to circulate. This spacing is crucial for even cooking and ensures that every piece gets that golden, crispy skin we all love. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, use two baking sheets to achieve the best results.

Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil (if using). Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they're well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2-3 hours for deeper flavors.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      Arrange the Chicken: Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the tray skin-side up, reserving the marinade for later.

        Roast the Chicken: Roast the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove them from the oven and brush with some of the reserved marinade.

          Caramelize the Glaze: Return the chicken to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and caramelized. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

            Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve your delicious honey garlic roasted chicken thighs with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or your favorite side dishes!
