Description

Ingredients

• 3 lbs chicken thighs (you can use any chicken you like really, not only thighs)
• 4 - 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 small onion, grated or minced into fine pieces
• ¼ cup soy sauce (I used the reduced sodium kind)
• ⅓ cup ketchup
• ⅓ cup + 1 Tbsp honey
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 1½ tbsps brown sugarFor the Sauce on the Side:
• 2 tsps cornstarch
• Drippings from the baking dish

Directions

• Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
• In a glass 9x10 baking dish whisk together all ingredients except for the chicken. Combine well.
• Place the chicken into the dish and spoon some of the mixture over top of each piece.
• Optional: You can marinade the chicken in this mixture ahead of time if you like.
• Place the baking dish in the oven uncovered and bake for 45 - 60 minutes.
• Once the chicken is finished cooking, remove from the baking dish and place on a serving plate.
• Serve with rice, veggies or anything else you might enjoy it with!How to make the Sauce on the side:
• Skim the fat off the top of the drippings as much as possible. If theres a little fat left, thats ok too. You can also remove most of the fat using a gravy separator if you have one.
• Combine about ¼ of the drippings and the cornstarch in a small dish and set aside. Mix it together using a whisk to make sure there are no lumps.
• Pour the remaining drippings into a sauce pot and bring to a boil.
• Add the cornstarch mixture and lower the heat. Stir constantly using a whisk until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Remove from the heat and serve with the chicken.
