Baked Soy Sauce Chicken
Report
This easy recipe for baked soy sauce chicken is my nontraditional yet tasty interpretation of the classic recipe.
Share:
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce or a gluten-free alternative, reduced sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced, fresh
- 1 tablespoon ginger root minced, fresh
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on, about 2 pounds
Instructions
- Mix the marinade ingredients (soy sauce, rice vinegar, avocado oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes) in a medium bowl. Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken thighs. Seal the bag, place it on a plate, and marinate the chicken in the fridge for 1 hour, turning the bag midway.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the chicken thighs from the bag and arrange them in a rimmed baking dish large enough to accommodate them in a single layer, such as a 9 X 13 baking dish. Pour the marinade on top and use your hands to massage it into the chicken thighs.
- Bake the chicken until well browned and cooked through, about 1 hour, basting the tops with the cooking liquids every 20 minutes. Rinse the basting brush with warm soapy water after each use.
- Remove the pan from oven, baste the chicken one more time, and serve.
Notes
- The nutrition info assumes that about half the marinade is consumed.
- I highly recommend marinating the chicken for at least an hour (and preferably two hours) before baking it. Marinating helps the sauce penetrate the chicken and gives it great flavor.
- The leftovers keep well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for 3-4 days. They are delicious cold! You can also reheat them in the microwave, covered, at 50% power, or in a 350°F oven, uncovered.
