Today she is sharing a chicken recipe thant I cannot wait to try real soon! I know my family will LOVE it!
Around here chicken makes a regular appearance on the dinner table. To tell you the truth, it gets a little boring after awhile – grilled chicken, baked chicken, sautéed chicken, chicken soup, chicken n’ pasta…
But with all that chicken, my family never tires of chicken thighs. We like the dark meat around here y’all. It’s good stuff and pretty inexpensive, too, but use whatever kinda chicken you like.

LET’S MAKE HONEY SOY BAKED CHICKEN
This honey soy baked chicken recipe is simple to whip up right before cooking or to use ahead of time as a marinade. Although a marinade typically includes an acid, such as a vinegar or citrus juice, you could certainly add either to this recipe.
What You Need For This Chicken Recipe
For this recipe, you’ll need olive oil, soy sauce, garlic cloves (or garlic powder), ground ginger, honey, salt and pepper.
You can easily switch up the ingredients to your liking and taste. A splash of sesame oil would be a nice addition.
Simple Steps to Make Honey Soy Baked Chicken
Basically, mix all ingredients together in a large plastic zip-top storage bag, add the chicken making sure to coat each piece.
Place chicken and sauce/marinade in baking dish or leave in large plastic bag to marinate in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
When ready to cook, bake in a 425° oven for 25 minutes with the skin side up.
Turn the chicken and cook another 15 minutes.
Then turn the chicken again to skin side up and finish cooking for another 10 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Cook until internal temperature of chicken reads 165°F.
NOTE: You can skip all the turning and flipping of the chicken if you’d like, but I think it cooks more evenly helping to avoid one side being too dry.
This honey soy chicken would be mighty tasty grilled as well.

Wow, Lady. You're turning up everywhere! This recipe looks fabulous as usual. Always need a new chicken recipe.
We made this tonight & it was amazing! We loved it! (we used wings/no ginger)
Amy,
This recipe looks delicious and like something my whole family would love. Thank you for sharing it. I will be trying it next week!
EXCELLENT recipe! Love the chicken. It's a keeper.
Can i do it in the rotisserie? I do not have a grill. Thak you for sharing, i will definetely try it.
I made this tonight with chicken breast and added spicy brown mustard to the mix, marinaded for a few hours before cooking per your directions. It was tender, juicy and an amazing glaze! Thanks for sharing!!!
I’m trying this tonight with rice and broccoli, it looks delicious!
Are you supposed to cover it while in the oven?
no
Made it for dinner tonite, it was good, but I may have overcooked it a bit. ☹️
How long to marinade for ?
one bite was all i could have, its way too sweet for my taste, i would’ve liked a vegetable or some acidity to break through all the honey.
How long should you cook for boneless skinless chicken thighs?
Yessss, Making these tonight. Thank you
Love this recipe!!
Could I use this marinade for bone in pork chops? I would like to marinade them and the grill them on the BBQ.
This is the best chicken recipe. It is asked for at least every week. I doubled the recipe because leftovers are needed for lunch the next day. Thank you for sharing.
Would this work with skinless cutlets? Sounds yummy!
This was very good. We loved the yummy taste. I’m wondering…the only variation I did was to use amino acids instead of soy sauce. Have you tried it that way? The sauce was a little too thin. Could that have been why? It didn’t matter that much. I just thought it would stick to the chicken better and I wouldn’t have as much waste, if thicker. Like I said, doesn’t matter that much to me.
