Sticky Honey Soy Chicken
One of my favorite dishes to make for my family is various kinds of baked chicken: ginger garlic baked chicken, baked Hoisin chicken, honey lemongrass baked chicken, and this amazing, moist, and super delicious baked honey soy chicken.
It’s one of the easiest chicken recipes ever, and everyone loves it.
Ingredients to Make Honey Soy Chicken
This Asian-flavored chicken recipe calls for very simple store-bought ingredients. These days, you don’t even have to go to Asian supermarkets or stores for Asian ingredients.
Sauces and condiments such as oyster sauce and sesame oil are widely available at the international food aisle, so you have every reason to whip up this amazing baked honey soy chicken for your family.
Cooking Tips
The chicken is tender, juicy and bursting with the sweet and savory flavors of soy sauce and honey. For deeper flavors, I always add minced garlic and ginger to the chicken.
Both ginger and garlic infuse the chicken with pleasant aromas. The chicken is best served with steamed rice.

hi will try this tonight! what IS thé best Partner Dish of thèse! RICE OR POTATO
Either one would be work. I personally prefer it with rice. Happy cooking!
Made this, loved the flavor but, I let the marinade go too long. How long? How about 3 days. Also, I deboned the chicken thighs and because of that & the lengthy marinade time the chicken pretty much fell apart. I’ve never had this happen so I wonder if the meat was too tender due to a culmination of all the ingredients? None the less the flavor was 5 stars all the way
Hi Jake. The soy sauce will break down the fibres in the meat if you marinade it for longer than 24 hours, hence the over-tenderized meat.
Hi there. Are the thighs with bones or boneless? Does it have skin or no? Thanks.
You can use thighs with or without bones. I prefer with skin-on, as the skin keeps the meat more juicy. But it’s totally up to you.
Good
Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!
May I please ask you one quick question? Is the calorie count approx 544 for one serving of three thighs?
Thank you so much.
One serving.
