Lemon Chicken Thighs
Servings 4
These Lemon Ginger Soy Chicken Thighs are slow roasted, tender, and bursting with flavor! The chicken thighs are basted throughout the roasting process with a simple sauce made with lemon, soy sauce, honey, and ginger. Roasted over a dish of bok choy and carrots, this dish is filled with Asian influence!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 cup bok choy chopped
- 2 cups carrots julienned
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus a pinch
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper plus a pinch
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 3 to 4 qt. baking dish. Add prepped bok choy, carrots, salt, and pepper to the dish and toss until evenly coated.
- Place chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, skin side up, and drizzle the chicken with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil. Sprinkle chicken with just a pinch of salt and pepper. Slice a lemon in half and place a half at each end of the dish. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together Kikkoman Soy Sauce, lemon juice, ginger, and honey. After 15 minutes, remove chicken from oven and use a basting brush to brush the chicken with the sauce and pan drippings, then return to the oven. Repeat the process every 5 minutes for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until sauce is gone and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
- Other bone-in chicken can be used, try to keep it around 2lbs total for this recipe.
