Asian Baked Chicken Thighs

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

3 lbs bone-in chicken thighs (about 8 pieces)

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (can also use gluten free soy sauce)

2 tbsp Hoisin sauce

2 tbsp canola oil

1 lime - juice only

1/4 cup honey

2 tsp chili paste

4 garlic cloves (pressed)

diced scallions

sesame seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425° and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Place chicken thighs skin side up in the baking dish, leaving a little room in between each one.

Whisk all ingredients for the sauce in a small mixing bowl and pour it all over the chicken. Move the chicken around a little to get sauce underneath.

Bake for 20 minutes and flip each chicken thigh. Bake another 20 minutes and flip them back over. Bake 5-10 more minutes skin side up, until it’s baked through. (Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°.)

Garnish with some diced scallions and sesame seeds if you wish.
