How to Make Asian Spicy Chicken Thighs

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs) in a large zip-top bag.
  3. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring each thigh is fully coated. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  6. Place chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and juices run clear.
  8. Optional: For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
