- 1 recipe Asian chicken marinade
For serving
- steamed white rice
- lime wedges
- sliced green onions
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Place 2 pounds bone in-skin-on chicken thighs in a zip-top plastic bag and pour 1 recipe Asian chicken marinade over them. Squeeze out the air from the bag and seal it tightly. With your hands work the chicken thighs into the marinade until well coated.
- Place the bag on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate for at least one hour; 8-10 hours or overnight is even better.
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Line a rimmed sheet pan with tin foil and set a wire baking rack over the foil. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel. Arrange the chicken on top of the wire rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until skin is crispy and meat is cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- To serve, arrange the chicken breasts over a bed of white rice. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
