Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Orange and Soy Glazed Chicken Thighs:

- For a crispy, caramelized glaze, broil the chicken thighs in the final step until the sauce starts bubbling and slightly chars. Keep a close eye to prevent burning. - To make sure the thighs are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving. - For a more flavorful glaze, use freshly squeezed orange juice and soy sauce. Bottled or store-bought options may lack the same depth of flavor. - If you want a thicker glaze, simmer the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens to your desired consistency. - For a healthier version, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, and reduce the amount of honey or sugar in the glaze. - Serve the chicken thighs over rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
