Baked Asian Chicken Thighs

Baked Asian Chicken Thighs, We used a super simple marinade for this chicken using rice wine vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Ok you guys, so I have been trying to perfect making these Baked Asian Chicken Thighs. Chicken thighs were on sale this week, so I bought a boat load of them to practice on!

I used a super simple marinade for this Chicken using Rice Wine Vinegar, Tamari (GF Soy Sauce), Sesame Oil, Honey, Garlic, and Red Pepper Flakes.

I love easy recipes like this. Where you can put a marinade together in a ziploc bag, throw in some meat, and let it sit and marinate all of its goodness into the meat as it sits in the refrigerator for an hour or more.

Then I can use that time to:

A) get some more work done

or

B) take an afternoon siesta!

Yes, I chose B.

Ok normally I would be a total dud and use this time to get more work done, but the work load has been really catching up to me lately. I’ve been feeling run down and exhausted.

I’m a big believer that you have to stop and listen to your body. So today I chose to nap, and now I feel like a new person. Ahhh, it’s the little things.

Seriously though, this chicken is so delish! It’s sweet and savory with a little kick to it.

Normally I take the skin off of my chicken, but I decided to leave it on this time for a little crispy/sticky treat for me. It reminds me of being a kid and getting chicken from the deli…I would peel off all of the crispy seasoned skin and just eat that. Hey, who says you have to be healthy all the time, right?!

So you can make this healthier and skin the chicken thighs first. Or you can be a little bad and leave it on…I don’t judge.
