Delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless and skinless)
  • 1 cup honey (preferably raw for health benefits)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (for Mediterranean flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and salt.

    Whisk well until the honey is fully dissolved.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.

    Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Preheat the Oven

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

    This ensures even cooking.
  4. Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the marinated chicken thighs to a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until fully cooked.

    Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

    Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
