Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, green onions, cooking oil, garlic, white vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Place chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring each piece is coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow chicken to come to room temperature.
  5. Arrange chicken in a baking dish and pour remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Broil on high for an additional 5 minutes until edges are charred.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven, let it rest, garnish with parsley, and serve.
