HONEY SOY CHICKEN

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut most of the fat and discard)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

5 tablespoons honey

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line an 8x8" oven-proof pan with 2 layers of tin foil.

2. In small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ground ginger, and pepper.

3. Place the chicken thighs in the foil layered pan then pour the mixture on top of it. Turn the chicken around in the sauce to make sure it gets all coated.

4. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure the tops are not browning too quickly. If they are, cover with foil and resume baking until chicken is done.

5. Remove from oven and let chicken sit for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate. Do NOT discard the liquid.

6. After plating the chicken, immediately pour the sauce over top of chicken. 

7. Serve with white rice and some steamed or sauteed vegetables.

Enjoy!

*Note: The sauce will be runny, not thick.
