Ingredients

½ cup olive oil
½ cup honey
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tbsp chili sauce *OPTIONAL*
2 garlic cloves minced
2 lb chicken thighs
1 small red onion sliced
2 bell peppers sliced
Salt and pepper to your liking

Instructions

In a ziplock bag, add the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, honey, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chilli sauce, and the minced garlic.
Close the bag and mix well.
Add the chicken thighs.
Close the bag and shake it, so that the chicken is coated with the marinade.
Place the bag in a bowl and into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil.
If you are marinating the chicken for only 1 hour, add the onion and peppers. If you are marinating the chicken overnight, add the onion and peppers while the oven is preheating. Mix well.
Pour the coated chicken, onions, and peppers into the prepared baking sheet.
Cook for 20-23 minutes, flipped halfway through. Cook until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 °F.

Notes

Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Re-warm: Reheat in the air fryer at 330 degrees F for 3-4 minutes or oven at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes

Variations

Make it spicy: Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
Make it kid-friendly: Add some BBQ sauce and omit the chili sauce.
