I had already defrosted some chicken over the weekend and never got around to using it so, tonight's meal is chicken and comes from www.shewearsmanyhats.com . I served it with some roasted asparagus.
Honey and Soy Baked Chicken Thighs
3 Tbls. olive oil
3 Tbls. soy sauce
5 Tbls. honey
4 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
3 pounds (approximately) chicken thighs (or preferred chicken meat)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425.
Mix first 6 ingredients together in a large plastic zip-top storage bag. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the chicken to bag making sure to coat each piece.
Place chicken in fridge to marinate.
When ready to cook, pour chicken in a baking dish, bake chicken in a 425 oven for 25 minutes with skin side up. Turn the chicken and cook another 15 minutes. Then, turn the chicken again to skin side up and finish cooking another 10 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Cook until internal temp is 165.
My note: I did this recipe exactly as it says. For the roasted asparagus I snapped the ends, rinsed them and put on a roasting pan with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I tossed them together and baked them for about 20 minutes I like mine crispy.
I will have to say they were yummy and my house smelled really good while they were cooking I always consider that a good thing when trying a new recipe!!! Enjoy !!!!
