Killer Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs
from ButterYum
makes 2 pounds
Ingredients
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sriracha (optional)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Make the marinade by mixing all the ingredients except for the chicken thighs in a gallon-size zip-top bag.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it; massage the bag so all the chicken gets coated with the marinade and rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 450F and place rack in center position.
Prepare a 7x11 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; pour the entire contents of the bag into the baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, basting half way through.
Cook until an internal temperature of 165F is reached.
Note
For a more caramelized finish, place under the broiler for a couple of minutes before serving, but watch it very carefully so it doesn’t burn.
