Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb fresh baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (5 ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar or lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on one side of a rimmed sheet pan. Arrange the halved bok choy on the other side, cut sides up.
  5. Brush the chicken thighs generously with the soy glaze. Toss the bok choy lightly with any remaining glaze and a pinch of salt.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is caramelized. The bok choy should be tender but still bright green.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp the chicken skin further, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry for crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy bok choy. Broil briefly for extra crispy skin. Glaze can be simmered to thicken if too runny. Use tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free option. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve texture.
