Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, paprika, and black pepper. Stir the marinade mixture until well combined.
-
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.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
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.
-
Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
-
Flip the chicken thighs and pour the reserved marinade over them. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the Best Chicken Thigh hot with your favorite sides.
