Ingredients
Scale
- 2.4lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks (5–6pieces)
- 1red onion, peeled and cut into wedges
- Glaze:
- 3cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsphoney

- 1 tbspapple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tspsesame oil
- 1/2 tspblack pepper
- Garnish (Optional):

- Fresh cilantro or parsley (or other greens like green onions or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (or 360°F for fan-assisted ovens).
- Line a baking dish with aluminum foil followed by parchment paper. The dish should allow the chicken to fit comfortably, with space enough to keep the glaze from drying out.
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to make the glaze.
- Place the chicken and onion in the prepared baking dish, skin side down. Pour the glaze evenly over the chicken and onion.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the chicken and continue baking for another 25-35 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and the glaze is sticky. If the glaze isn’t thick enough, remove the chicken and return the pan to the oven for a few more minutes.
- Once done, turn the chicken to coat it in the glaze and spoon extra glaze over the top.
- Serve with rice and steamed vegetables, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or parsley.
