Ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (1 lb of chicken)
- 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil 60 ml
- 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce 60 ml
- 1/4 cup of dijon mustard 60 g
- 2 tablespoons of honey 30 ml
- 2 tablespoons of packed brown sugar 25 g
- 2 cloves of garlic minced (5 g)
- 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves 1 g
- Kosher salt & ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes 1 g
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
- In a large bowl, mix together extra-virgin olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, Dijon mustard, honey, packed brown sugar, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them to coat them evenly with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the marinade and place it on a large baking sheet lined with foil. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until it turns golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), which should take about 20 minutes.
- Switch the oven to broil and broil the chicken for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce on the chicken thickens slightly.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
