Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in a large bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, combine honey, canola oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour any leftover marinade over the top. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  6. For an optional crispiness, switch to broil and broil for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use boneless skinless chicken thighs for juiciness; adjust cooking time if using chicken breasts. For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge.
