Ingredients
Scale
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, basting with marinade halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
Serve:
Transfer chicken thighs to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Serve with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
