  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Cook Time 45 minutes
  • Yield 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.5-3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in, skin on
  • 4 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil


Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a large bowl or gallon freezer bag and mix well.
  2. Blot chicken skin dry with paper towels. Combine chicken with marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
  3. Seal the gallon bag, removing excess air, or cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare a sheet pan by spraying it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper.
  5. Lift each chicken thigh and let the excess marinade drip off. Place the thighs on the sheet pan in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Allow to rest on the pan for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For spicier chicken, adjust cayenne pepper to your preference.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavors even more.
Ensure chicken is patted dry for crispy skin.
