Craving an easy weeknight dinner that you prep for in advance? These sticky chicken thighs can be marinated overnight in lots of garlic and soy sauce, then cooked for dinner over some rice. A baked chicken recipe that comes with its own sauce. This recipe is for those cooks who have to put food on the table after a long day of work. The flavor almost resembles a soy-based barbecue sauce in the end. SO GOOD!

Skin-on chicken is my favorite way to bake chicken, so when I have the time I like to take the extra effort to debone them for easier eating. I even freeze the chicken bones for my next soup or stock. I know I’m extra.

Stir-fry’s are no longer the only easy Asian-influenced recipes to make at home. This recipe is made simple to pair with everyday dinners. Some roasted vegetables and even a bowl of boxed rice make dinner happen in a pinch. A recipe to impress.

A tip when marinating skin-on chicken is to thoroughly pat dry the skin with a paper towel. Any residual water molecules on the skin will prevent crisping. When you remove this chicken from the marinade into the oven, you can discard it or reduce the leftover marinade as a glaze. It’s all about how you intend to use this recipe.

Got any leftovers? This recipe is made to function for most leftover chicken recipes like chicken salad, ramen, and pot pies. A true mark of the chef is the ability to repurpose food.
