Easy 4-Ingredient Honey Garlic Baked Chicken Thighs

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Arrange the raw boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and combined.
4. Pour the sauce evenly over the top of the chicken thighs, ensuring every piece is well coated.
5. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the edges are beautifully caramelized.
6. Remove from the oven and spoon the warm pan glaze over the top of the chicken before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds if desired.

Chef's Tips for Success

Baste midway: For maximum flavor, carefully spoon the sauce from the bottom of the pan back over the chicken halfway through the cooking time.

Broil for a sticky glaze: If you prefer extra sticky, bubbly edges, turn your oven to broil for the final 2 to 3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely so the honey sauce does not burn.

What to serve with it: Serve these juicy chicken thighs over fluffy white rice, quinoa, or garlic mashed potatoes to soak up every bit of the delicious honey-garlic sauce. Add a side of roasted broccoli or green beans for a complete meal.
