2 pounds organic skin and; boneless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chopped ginger
5 tablespoons raw honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 cloves of garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a mixing bowl combine olive oil, ginger, honey, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper, set aside.

Rinse and trim off all the fat from the chicken, then place it in the bowl with the marinade.

Preheat the oven to 425F.
Marinade chicken for at least 1 hour. Place chicken thighs and marinade on a cast iron or baking dish and bake for 45 minutes, make sure to flip the chicken on the other side 1-2 times, that way the chicken will be juicy & tender without dry top.

Serve with rice or mashed potato, and make sure to pour the sauce over the chicken when serving.  It is yum!
