12 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, about 4 1/2 pounds
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic, about 6 garlic cloves (see note)
3 tablespoons minced ginger, about 3-inch piece ginger (see note)
extra ginger and scallions for garnish, optional
Instructions
Arrange chicken thighs skin-side down in a 9×13 baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until honey is melted and well blended. Pour mixture evenly over the chicken thighs. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 350. Take chicken out of refrigerator while oven is preheating. Bake covered for 30 minutes. Raise temperature to 375. Remove foil and turn chicken thighs to skin-side up. Bake uncovered for another 30 minutes, until juices run clear.
To serve, garnish with finely julienned ginger and scallions, if desired.
Notes
To quickly mince garlic and ginger, coarsely chop and pulse garlic and ginger separately in a mini-prep food processor.
