Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thighs (bone-in and skin-on)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves of garlic, chopped or minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Mix all the spices for the dry rub together in a small bowl. 
  • Prepare your marinade as well, combining the extra virgin olive oil with the honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic. Set aside.
  • Clean and pat dry your chicken thighs with a paper towel, placing them in a large dish that is able to be stored in your fridge overnight, or, directly on a baking tray if you plan to cook them immediately.
  • Rub the spice mix across the skin and underneath the chicken thighs.
  • Once the chicken thighs are spiced, pour the honey-garlic-green-onion marinade across the chicken, coating them well.
  • Remove from the fridge and roast in a preheated oven at 375 for 50 minutes, until fully cooked. Remove from oven, and serve with excess juices drizzled across the chicken thighs. These chicken thighs go well with literally any meal: you can eat them during the weekdays with a salad for lunch, you can serve them for dinner with any vegetable pairing too.
