• 🍗1 lbs Bone in chicken thighs, with skin
• 🧂2 tsp Lemon pepper seasoning
• 🌿2 tsp Paprika
• 🧂1 tsp Slap ya mama Cajun seasoning
• 🧄2 tsp Garlic powder
• 🧅2 tsp Onion powder
• 🧂2 tsp Black pepper

• 🧄1 tbsp Minced garlic
• •1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 🧈2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

1. 1Start by cleaning your chicken thighs, rinse under cool water and scrub with a lemon. Pat dry and set aside. Don’t forget to clean your sink afterward ☺️
2. 2In a mixing bowl combine lemon pepper, paprika, salt, pepper, slap ya mama, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Mix well and add onto the chicken thighs. Coat evenly on top and under chicken skin. Let marinate for 2 hours on cooking rack. Marinating is optional!! If you prefer to only let sit for 15 min that works as well- the flavoring will not be as prominent.
3. 3Preheat oven to 350 degrees, bake chicken thighs skin side up for 30 minutes. Flip over and bake again for 20 minutes.
4. 4While chicken is baking you can start to make your sauce. In a pan add your butter and minced garlic, cook till fragrant and add your honey. Stir then add your water, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Mix until consistency becomes sticky.
5. 5Pull the chicken from the oven and brush on the honey sauce onto the chicken skin, place the chicken back in the oven on broil to create a caramelized skin.
6. 6Enjoy with a pasta side and some veggies 😇
