Honey and Soy Baked Chicken Thighs

Many of you know that I am a recent convert to the dark side. That is what you use in this recipe for honey and soy baked chicken thighs. I gave chicken thighs a try and now I love them. The recipe I have shared before have involved boneless skinless chicken thighs, which are great. I can usually get them for $1.99 a pound on sale which is pretty close to the same price of ground beef.
However, you can usually get the bone in/skin on chicken thighs on sale for 99 cents. So I wanted to try a recipe that I could take advantage of the skin on version. Now for those skinless, recipes you can always buy the bone in/skin on version and de-bone and skin yourself, but this busy mom just doesn’t have time for that.
This was another yummy recipe. I must say with this one the skin is the best part. It is crispy and full of flavor. I definitely think, the longer you can marinate this chicken the better! You could also throw this chicken on the grill instead of baking it.
