Asian-Style Baked Chicken

from ButterYum

makes 4 servings

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed

1/4 cup ketchup

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or granulated garlic)

ground black pepper to taste

garnish: sliced scallions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine the ketchup, honey, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Wrap a sheet pan with foil (I like to use non-stick foil) and place an oven safe rack in the pan. Trim the excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them right side up in a single layer on the rack. Use a pastry brush to apply about 1/3 of the ketchup mixture to the chicken thighs and bake for 15 minutes. Then baste with another 1/3 of the ketchup mixture and bake for another 15 minutes; repeat one more time using the remaining 1/3 of the ketchup mixture. Remove chicken from the oven and sprinkle with ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve.
