Notes

Tips
  • Don't marinate for too long. It's best to marinate chicken thighs for up to 8 hours but not more than 24 hours.
  • Adjust pepper quantity to how you like it.
  • Substitute cayenne pepper for black pepper.
  • Sugar can be substituted for honey.
  • You can arrange the chicken on oven rack if you don't like them baking in the juice.
  • Don't overlap the chicken in the baking tray. Arrange them in a single layer.
  • After baking, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them. This allows the juice inside to redistribute.
  • Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165F/75C.
