Recipe: Killer Chicken Thigh Marinade - Craving Tasty
Description: This killer chicken thigh marinade will blow your mind. It's the best! Easy to make with a few simple ingredients, and make a dish with intense flavors.
Ingredients: [{"text": "8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs ((about 4 lbs))"}, {"text": "2 Tbsp olive oil"}, {"text": "1 Tbsp sesame oil"}, {"text": "4 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce"}, {"text": "1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce"}, {"text": "2 Tbsp lemon juice ((or lime juice))"}, {"text": "5 Tbsp honey ((or maple syrup))"}, {"text": "6 cloves garlic ((minced))"}, {"text": "\u00bd tsp black pepper ((freshly ground))"}, {"text": "2 tsp kosher salt ((plus more to taste))"}]
Instructions: 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.
