Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs see notes
- 1 teaspoon each: salt and pepper
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar can sub brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 4 cloves garlic grated with the small holes on your grater
- 1 teaspoon grated onion grated with the small holes on your grater
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place one oven rack in the middle and another rack at the top. For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Season both sides of the chicken with the salt and pepper. Put the chicken on the baking sheet skin side up and bake for 30-35 minutes. (35 minutes for big thighs.)
- While the chicken is cooking, bring the honey garlic sauce ingredients to a boil for 2 minutes in a small frying pan to thicken the sauce.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and carefully drain any liquid from the pan. Using tongs, dip each piece in the sauce and then put the chicken back on the pan skin side down. Broil (on the top oven rack) for 5 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over and baste the skin with the remaining sauce then broil for 5 minutes more.
Notes
- Note 1: If your oven broils at higher than 500 degrees Fahrenheit, watch the chicken VERY closely so the sugars in the sauce don't burn.
- Note 2: Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (use a meat thermometer to test this) and the juices run clear.
- it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (use a meat thermometer to test this)
- Chicken: I like to use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. If you'd rather not eat the skin, leave it on for cooking (it will protect the meat) and then peel it off before adding the sauce. If you only have boneless thighs on hand, bake them for 15 minutes before dipping them into the honey garlic sauce.
