    There is nothing that beats a quick weeknight dinner that is bursting with flavor, and this sheet pan soy-glazed chicken thighs does just that. It needs about 30 minutes to sit in the marinade — no resting overnight or prepping before heading off to work — and packs in so much flavor. Easier and healthier than take out, but just as satisfying!

    Add sliced scallions a few minutes before the chicken is finished cooking for a unique and more subtle onion flavor. I love serving this with rice and edamame or bok choy to make a complete meal.

    Don’t forget to spoon the extra marinade sauce from the pan on top! Make this for a crowd the next time you host a dinner party because it is seriously impressive and comes together in no time.

    Description

    Sheet pan soy-glazed chicken thighs is the perfect weeknight meal -- 30 minutes in the marinade and 20 minutes in the oven. Easier and healthier than take-out!


    Ingredients

    Soy Marinade:

    • ⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    Chicken:

    • 1 and ¾ lbs. chicken thighs (about 8 ), boneless
    • 3 scallions, cut into thirds
    • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, ginger paste, and garlic in a large bowl, then whisk to combine. Place chicken thighs in marinade, cover, and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

      Is this made with bone in or boneless chicken?

        It's made with boneless chicken. For bone-in you will need to increase the cook time.

      Hi Sam, it looks like a pure Asian dish with white rice but just as satisfying with Asia meal addict like me.
