- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 thumb fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 red chilli, thinly sliced

Instructions
1) Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl.
2) Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a jug and pour onto the chicken, making sure it is well coated. Cover and allow marinating for about 45 minutes.
3) Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with foil.
