Ingredients
Scale
8 large bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup plus one tablespoon honey, divided
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Place chicken thighs into a gallon zip lock bag.
- Mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, one-quarter cup of the honey, olive oil, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and lemon juice and pour over chicken.
- Seal bag and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place chicken pieces skin up in a braiser or a 9X13 baking pan.
- Reserve one half cup of the marinade and pour the rest over the chicken.
- Place the chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes uncovered, or until the internal temperature of the thickest thigh reaches 165 degrees F.
- While chicken is braising, place reserved half cup of marinade into a small sauce pan and add one tablespoon of the honey. Bring to a boil and simmer three minutes.
- Remove from heat. Mix the corn starch and water in a small bowl and slowly drizzle into hot liquid while briskly whisking. If it is lumpy, simply pour through a strainer and set aside.
- Once the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, remove and set oven to broil.
- Brush the glaze over the tops of each piece of chicken then broil for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. If you want the skin extra crispy, simply broil longer.
- Serve immediately.
