    Start off by placing the honey, coconut aminos, garlic cloves, ginger, and pepper into the blender and blend until the garlic is finely chopped.

    Once the sauce is ready you can cook on the stove top in a saucepan until the garlic is cooked. Today we’ll be using it in this chicken thigh recipe below.

    Place the chicken thighs into the oven and cook for 35-40 minutes at 400 degrees F or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

    How to serve honey garlic chicken thighs?

    We like to serve baked honey garlic chicken thighs over rice. Spoon some of the extra sauce from the pan right over the chicken and rice. Serve along with your favorite green veggie.

    To add more color to this dish you can add some chopped parsley, but we like to enjoy it without the herb flavor. It’s such a simple chicken recipe and so delicious!

    Other ways to enjoy this honey garlic chicken is making it into Chinese style fried chicken by making a tempura batter and frying the chicken and then cooking in the sauce!
