3 Tbsp soy sauce
5 Tbsp honey

3 lbs bone in/skin on chicken thighs

Instructions

In a gallon sized zip-loc storage bag, combine the oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger along with salt and pepper to taste. Place the chicken the bag bag and zip closed. Then move the chicken around to make sure each piece is well coated with the marinade.
Allow to sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Be sure to rotate the bag at least half way through this process.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with foil. Place the chicken in the lined baking dish along with all the marinade. Make sure all the chicken is skin side up.
Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Turn the chicken skin side down and bake for 15 minutes. Now turn the chicken again to skin side up and cook for 10 more minutes or until internal temperature of chicken reads 165°F.
