A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a savory ginger glaze.
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
Use a non-stick spray or a small amount of oil for greasing.
Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps the skin crisp up during baking.
Place the chicken thighs, skin side up, in the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, ground ginger, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended.
Mix the sauce thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the chicken thighs.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce if needed to coat all pieces.
Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with optional sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
Present the dish on a serving platter for an appealing presentation.
