Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place them in a baking dish, skin-side up.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, red chili flakes, and minced garlic to prepare the hot honey glaze.
- Using a basting brush or spoon, generously coat the chicken thighs with the hot honey glaze.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the feta is slightly golden and bubbly.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
