Easy Honeyed Chicken Thighs


  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 pounds chicken thighs (approximately 8 thighs), bone in, skin on
  • 6 Tbsp honey
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp molasses
  • 6 garlic cloves, grated
  • 2 Tbsp grated onion
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and bake for 20 minutes. (This is a great time to roast potatoes or other veggies – save time and energy) 🙂
  3. In a large bowl, use a fine shredder to grate the garlic and onion. Add the honey, brown sugar, and molasses to create the sauce.
  4. After chicken has roasted 20 minutes, remove from oven. Using kitchen tongs, place the thighs into the sauce bowl. Spoon out 2-3 Tbsp of the fat in the baking sheet and add to the sauce ingredients. Discard the remaining fat. Gently toss chicken in the sauce, coating all sides.
  5. Turn on the oven broiler. Return chicken to the baking sheet, skin side down. Broil for 5 minutes.
  6. Flip the thighs, pour sauce over the chicken, and broil skin side up for another 5 minutes.
  7. Remember to always watch closely when broiling!
  8. Remove from oven. Insert a meat thermometer where it won’t touch bone, and make sure the chicken has reached 165 degrees.
