Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs skinless about 2 1/2 lbs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 Tbsp Lea and Perrins low sodium Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp garlic pre-minced
- 1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider or rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp Kitchen Bouquet Browning and Seasoning Sauce
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 3/4 tsp fresh minced ginger
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp pepper to season
Instructions
- In a medium size mixing bowl, combine honey, low sodium Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, cooking oil, garlic, browning sauce, liquid smoke, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and pepper. Mix well - Warm up honey if it has crystalized.
- Rinse and pat chicken dry with paper towel. Trim off any excess fat or skin from chicken. Place chicken in bowl with the marinade and coat well. Cover and marinade chicken for at least 30 minutes if your time allows (or overnight).
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place chicken in a single layer along with the marinade to a foil lined cast iron skillet or baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turn over twice while baking to ensure the chicken stays well coated with marinade.
- You may broil for 5 minutes until golden browned, if desired, and slightly crispy on the edges. Chicken should have an internal temp of 165°F .
- Garnish with green onion and / or sesame seeds. Use remaining cooked marinade for additional sauce for rice or vegetables.
Notes
I use foil lined pans because the honey when cooked may become caramelized and can be tough to remove easily.
Low Sodium Worcestershire sauce can be touch and go at my local grocery stores, I now order a few bottles online to bypass the aggravation.
You can also buy thighs with the skin on - it is very easy to remove.
