A delightful and flavorful chicken dish with a tangy lemon and garlic marinade, perfect for a healthy and satisfying meal.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the marinade.
For a more intense flavor, prepare the marinade a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Turn the chicken thighs halfway through marinating to ensure even flavor distribution.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside for even cooking.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through.
Use a basting brush to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade during baking.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it has reached 165°F (74°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting the chicken allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve the chicken thighs with a fresh lemon wedge for garnish. Enjoy your meal!
Squeeze the lemon wedge over the chicken just before eating for an extra burst of flavor.
