Ingredients
  

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

1/3 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

        Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish: Once marinated, transfer the chicken thighs to a large baking dish. Pour any remaining marinade over the top.

          Roast the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy and caramelized. If desired, you can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

              Enjoy: Serve it hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
