Equipment
- Kitchen Tongs
- Meat thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 pounds (907 g) chicken thighs 4 pieces bone-in skin on
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (24 g) brown sugar or brown sugar substitute
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a quart-sized plastic bag until combined.
- Add the chicken thighs and shake gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Put the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 170°F (80°C).
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, but if you have time, letting it sit in the fridge overnight will deepen the flavors even more.
- Make sure to turn the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.
- Check that your chicken has reached the safe internal temperature of 170°F (80°C).
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
