Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs ( bone-in, skin-on (6-8 pieces))
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce ( low-sodium recommended)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar (white vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
  • 4 cloves garlic ( minced (about 1 tablespoon))
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • fresh parsley (minced - optional)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly with the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes up to 8 hours.
  • Place the oven rack in the upper-middle position. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Then add a wire rack.
  • Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and place on the rack with the skin side up, shaking off excess marinade. (Discard leftover marinade.)
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes to make the chicken extra crispy and add a nice caramelized brown color.
  • Garnish with optional parsley and serve.
