Main Dish

Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken thigh in a baking dish and pour the honey mixture over it, making sure it’s well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
Garnish with fresh rosemary before serving.

Tips for Honey-Glazed Chicken Thighs

The glaze should look glossy and cling to the chicken; honey can darken quickly, so check the surface near the end of cooking.
A small baking dish keeps the glaze gathered around the thigh; a much larger dish can let it spread thin and scorch.
Rest the chicken briefly before serving so the juices settle, and serve with roasted vegetables or rice to catch the sweet-savory glaze.
