Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs, boneless, skinless

Glaze

  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

Garnish (Optional)

  • 2 green onion stalks, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the chicken evenly and create a delicious glaze.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish and Chicken: Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking. Arrange even-sized pieces of chicken breasts or thighs in the dish for uniform cooking.
  3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and ketchup. Mix thoroughly to create a well-blended honey soy glaze.
  4. Apply Glaze: Evenly pour the prepared sauce over the chicken pieces, making sure each piece is well coated to infuse flavors during baking.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The internal temperature should be between 165°F and 175°F for safety and juiciness.
  6. Finish and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if using, to add freshness and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful glazed chicken.

Notes

  • The internal temperature of the chicken should reach at least 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption; a range of 165-175°F is preferred for optimal juiciness.
  • You can use either chicken breasts or thighs depending on your preference.
  • Optional garnishes such as green onions and sesame seeds enhance flavor and presentation.
  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control salt content in the dish.
  • Ensure even-sized chicken pieces for uniform cooking.
