Best Damn Chicken Thigh Marinade Recipe #chicken #chickenthigh #marinade #dinner #chickendinner
This is one of my favorite recipes because of its simplicity and the killer chicken thigh marinade it uses. This marinade has amazing Asian flavors , but also makes use of Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup that add sweetness and additional flavors and balance. #chicken #chickenthigh #marinade #dinner #chickendinner
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice (or lime juice)
- 8 bone-in , skin-on chicken thighs (about 4 lbs)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 5 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- First , Mix all ingredients for the marinade together in a large bowl or a plastic Ziploc bag. Add the chicken and make sure that every piece is covered evenly. Marinate in a fridge for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours or , better yet , overnight.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the chicken and all of the marinade in a baking dish. Bake uncovered at 450 degrees F for 25-30 minutes with the skin side up , until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. To make sure the chicken tops are nicely browned and do not dry out , baste the chicken thighs in the juices and marinade about 15-20 minutes into baking.
- To get a nicely browned , crisped up skin , turn on the broiler for 2-3 minutes when the thighs are almost done cooking. Monitor broiling very closely as the tops may burn if broiled for too long.
- Serve & enjoy!
