Instructions

Creating the delicious Ginger Garlic Chicken Thigh Bake is simple when following these easy steps:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Mix well.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Arrange Chicken: Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the pan, skin-side up.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  6. Broil (Optional): For additional crispiness, switch on the broiler in the last 5 minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced green onions and fresh cilantro over the chicken before serving.
