Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone in)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sambal chili paste
  • 1/4 cup red onions (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)

Instructions
 

  • Mix up that flavor bomb marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, ginger paste, garlic, sambal chili paste, and chopped cilantro. This combo brings the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy.
  • Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, toss them around until they’re fully coated, and let them soak in all that goodness. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight if you’re planning ahead).
  • Roast it up: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Arrange the marinated chicken on a foil-lined or parchment-lined baking sheet. Top it off with sliced red onions. Roast for 40–45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized (internal temp: 165°F).
  • Serve and store: Serve it up with your favorite side—like a crisp cucumber salad, jasmine rice, or even roasted veggies. Store leftovers in airtight containers for the week.
