Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoon cardamom
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 390F / 200C.
- Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil and honey, and sprinkle in the cardamom, turmeric, ground ginger, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt and black pepper (if using).
- Use your hands or tongs to evenly coat the chicken in the oil and spices.
- Use tongs to transfer the chicken thighs to an oven proof baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Bake the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes, depending upon their size, or until they reach a temperature of 165F at their deepest point using a meat thermometer.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then serve with sides of your choice.
Notes
Cook time will vary slightly depending upon the size of the chicken thighs, so use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165F at their deepest point for safe cooking.
- Coat the chicken thighs all over in the cardamom, herbs and spice so they are flavorful in every bite!
- Optional: you can marinate the chicken for 30 minutes to a couple of hours in the refrigerator (covered), but low histamine readers may wish to skip this and cook right away.
