Heather is one of my favorite people. She is down to earth, talented and sweet. When she posted this recipe on her site, Home Ec 101, I knew that I had to try it and it was a massive hit at our house! Nathan actually ate 3 thighs in one sitting and they are truly tonguegasmically, mouthwateringly delicious! Plus, with chicken thighs going for about $5.00 a package, they are significantly budget friendly! (YAY)
Next week’s picture will be better. This was taken while my Canon was at the camera hospital
- 6 – 8 chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- crushed red pepper (1 tsp. or more, to taste)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, onion, garlic, and spices
- *here is where I varied a bit from Heather’s recipe
- Place the chicken thighs and your marinade into a large ziploc baggie and marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
- Turn the bag halfway through so that all the thighs get equal drenching time.
- Place the thighs skin side up in a baking dish that leaves just a bit of room, but not too much, between each chicken thigh. Pour the marinade over the thighs.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 – 40 minutes.
I served this with green beans and a small green salad, it was amazing. Seriously y’all, you must try this dish! I will absolutely be making again for our house! NOM NOM NOM!!
Thank you Heather!!!

Thanks for your kind words and link love! I’m totally not a dark meat fan, but even I like chicken thighs with this marinade, so it’s a recipe we turn to, often. Keep an eye out at the store, I’ve seen chicken thighs as low as .65 a lb. It’s hard to beat that price.
Heather’s latest brilianceTightwad Tips for Tuesday
You know the only good thing about being absent from your blog for more than a week is? Getting to drool over 3 food posts at once!! Chicken thighs are the best part of the chicken. Contrary to what most may think, I’m definitely a thigh man, not a breast man. hahah!

Sorry to hear your camera is in the hospital. Shall I send her some flowers?
Jennifer, Playgroups are no place for children’s latest brilianceSpring well spent
Are you taking requests?
Here’s my wish list if you feel inspired. I would like a recipe that:
does not have onions, garlic, tomatoes (or anything tomato related) or dairy. Oh, and I’m not a fan of dark meat, either.
Let’s see what you’ve got!?!?
Krystyn’s latest brilianceOur guardian angel
This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time. I had a bunch of chicken thighs and no clue what to do with them. Since I didn’t have green onions, red pepper flakes, or much honey on hand, I supplemented it with crushed ginger from a jar.
Anyway, it turned out delish!
Thank you! Thank you!

These were absolutely mouthwatering! I can say, I know how to cook and cook well, but these are simply fantastic. I served with jasmine rice and fresh green beans with garlic. It is definately a new favorite in my house! Thank you.
