How to Make Soy Sauce And Honey Marinated Chicken

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs) to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade (optional: reduce it on the stovetop for a delicious sauce to drizzle over the chicken after baking).
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with reserved reduced marinade (optional). Serve with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
