Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  4. Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
