INGREDIENTS
- 2.2 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (I used a mix of dark and light soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- ½ tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste (adjust salt if using dark soy sauce)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (365°F).
- In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, onion powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, hot sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for the best flavor.
- Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip the chicken so the skin side is facing up. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, or parsley, and serve. Enjoy!
