Instructions
  1. First, heat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit or 246 degrees Celsius.
  2. Wash the thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Place thighs on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with coarse salt, ground black pepper and garlic powder. Rub the spices onto the chicken. Drizzle oil over the chicken. Rub it all over.
  3. Bake in the heated oven for 20 minutes. Then turn the heat down to 425 degrees Fahrenheit or 218 degrees Celsius and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until the thighs are fully cooked. If you want to check the meat with a thermometer, the internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Celsius.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. Peel garlic cloves and finely grate. A rasp makes it easy. Put the garlic in a sauce pot. Add soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and water. Bring this up to a boil and reduce slightly, it’ll take just a few minutes. Leave it aside, the sauce will get a little thicker has it cools.
  5. The chicken is finished cooking, the skin is very crispy. There are two ways to serve the chicken. Remove the chicken from the tray. Wipe off all of the excess oil on the tray. Dip the chicken in the sauce and put it on the tray. Place it in the hot oven for a few minutes and the sauce will caramelize onto the skin. The second way is to dip the chicken in the sauce and serve it just like that. Both ways work well. The meat is juicy, the skin is crispy and the sauce is addictive.
