A flavorful Thai-inspired chicken dish with a savory marinade and aromatic basil.
Combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, yogurt, lime juice and zest, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a mixing bowl.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all flavors are well combined.
Place the chicken thighs in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Massage the marinade into the chicken for better flavor absorption.
Seal the bag, removing excess air, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Longer marination enhances the flavor of the chicken.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside.
Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a roasting pan, skin side up.
Use a non-stick pan or line it with foil for easier cleanup.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until fully cooked and the juices run clear.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the baked chicken with steamed rice and garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Add a wedge of lime on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
