Instructions

Marinating the Chicken:

Prepare Marinade: In a shallow bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, green onions, cooking oil, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.

Season Chicken: Pat chicken dry, trim excess fat, and season with salt and pepper.

Marinate: Transfer chicken to the marinade bowl, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Baking the Chicken:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Bake: Place the chicken and marinade in a cast-iron skillet or baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping twice to prevent drying.

Broil: For the final 5 minutes, broil the chicken until golden and slightly charred at the edges.

Serving:

Check Temperature: Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Garnish: Sprinkle with parsley and optional sesame seeds.

Serve: Enjoy with pan juices over your choice of side.
