Sheet Pan Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs

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.

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.
2. Preheat oven to 450 F. Remove chicken thighs and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then scatter the scallions on the tray and sprinkle everything with sesame seeds. Return to oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked through.
