Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Chicken thighs
4-6, bone-in and skin-on for maximum flavor
Soy sauce
1/2 cup
Brown sugar
1/4 cup
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Ginger
1 tablespoon, freshly grated
Sesame oil
2 tablespoons
Sesame seeds
2 tablespoons, toasted
Green onions
2, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, skin side up, and pour the soy sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the skin is crispy.
  5. During the last 5 minutes of baking, switch to broil to achieve an extra crispy skin, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the chicken before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of chili flakes to the soy sauce mixture.
  • 💡 Feel free to marinate the chicken in the soy sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor.
  • 💡 Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or bok choy to complement the dish.
