Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Combine the marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl or large ziplock bag. Add the chicken thighs and toss to fully coat.
Cover or seal, and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours, turning every now and then if possible.
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Line one large, or two regular baking trays with parchment paper.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, and place them skin-side up, on the tray(s).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F/74°C, and the skin is golden brown. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
