Soy Sauce Baked Chicken Thighs in the Oven
Soy Sauce Chicken is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish that you can make any time of the week. It is a star all on its own but can elevate any existing side dish.
Have you ever taken a stroll in Chinatown and seen juicy, vibrant chickens hanging inside of restaurants? Chances are many of those are Soy Sauce Chickens.

You can have restaurant taste, all in the comfort of your own home.
Why this Soy Sauce Chicken Breast will Become a Family Favorite
It’s delicious. Like, let-me-lick-my-fingers-dry delicious.
It’s made with under 10 ingredients. And that’s counting salt and pepper.
You’ll have it on the table in less than an hour. Including the marinating process.
It is versatile. This goes well with so many dishes. Rice? Chow mein? Mashed potatoes? Yes, yes, and yes. Plus, it’s great all on its own.
This chicken is so tender and so juicy. Thanks for the marination. For 20-30 minutes, you’ll marinate the chicken breasts in soy sauce, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and salt & pepper. As the chicken sits, it soaks up and absorbs all the flavor; no bite is bland.
Once it’s marinated, I like to wrap the chicken breasts in separate parchment papers. This ensures tenderness. The juices remain within the chicken. There’s nothing dry about this recipe.
After it bakes in the oven for 30 minutes, slice it up and drizzle additional soy sauce for extra oomph. Serve with your favorite side dish! You can’t go wrong.

Steps

Cover with plastic wrap or lid and marinade chicken for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Transfer thighs into the baking pan.
Pour the marinade over chicken.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. After the first 15 minutes of cooking, using a spoon, baste the chicken with the marinade from the pan.
