Ingredients:
– 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper. Stir the marinade mixture until well combined.
2. Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and reserve the marinade for later use.
5. Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
6. Flip the chicken thighs and pour the reserved marinade over them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
7. Roast the chicken thighs in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
8. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the Best Chicken Thigh hot with your favorite sides.
