Baked Chicken Thighs with Soy Marinade
These baked chicken thighs over rice with a side salad. I’m just saying – you’re going to want to make these soon because they are amazing. 🙂
I love it whenever something this simple comes out tasting so delicious. Knowing I don’t have to slave in the kitchen every time I want to make good food is always good news! This baked chicken thighs recipe only requires eight ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to prep. The flavors are also very familiar: a mix of smoky, sweet and savory flavors you’ve surely tasted before. The chicken thighs are marinated for about half an hour, baked for 40 and broiled for 3-4 minutes to give the skin a nice char. They are – sorry guys but I have to say it – finger licking good!
What I also love about this baked chicken thighs recipe is how much flavor is infused into the thighs. They are so flavorful that you don’t need to serve a ton to satisfy a table of hungry eaters. One or two thighs per person is enough when served with rice and veggies. The sauce is super tasty and soaks into white rice beautifully. It’s one of those meals that tastes better when eaten shamelessly with plenty of gusto – so encourage your family to make a mess (this time only)!
You can make these baked chicken thighs ahead of time. Keep them sealed and refrigerated until time to serve. Reheat in a microwave for a couple of minutes or in the oven at 220ºF for about 20-30 minutes.

Thank you for the great recipe – it looks absolutely wonderful. But I was wondering if the thighs were bone in or boneless. Can’t wait to hear from you to make these and many more of your recipes.
Hi Helen, I like to use thighs with bone-in but boneless is also good. You can use chicken breasts too if you prefer that 🙂
