Step by step

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or roasting pan.

2. 2

   Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 2– 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer in the baking dish. Brush generously with half of the honey garlic glaze. Bake for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove from oven, brush remaining glaze over chicken, and switch oven to BROIL. Broil for 3– 5 minutes until edges are caramelized, bubbly, and slightly charred (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

6. 6

   Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm over rice or roasted vegetables!
