# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 to 2 lbs)
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Honey Garlic Sauce
04 - 1/3 cup honey
05 - 1/4 cup soy sauce
06 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
08 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
→ Garnish
11 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish or large ovenproof skillet with foil for easy cleanup.
02 - Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
03 - Place chicken thighs skin-side up in the prepared dish, leaving adequate space between each piece.
04 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, olive oil, smoked paprika, and chili flakes until well combined.
05 - Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken thighs, brushing to ensure thorough coating.
06 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 175°F.
07 - For extra crispy skin, broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes at the end, monitoring closely to prevent burning.
08 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
