Convection Oven-Baked Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs
Heat oven to 400°F.
Blot chicken thighs with paper towels until completely dry.
In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with the marinade ingredients.
Mix well with your hands and ‘massage’ the marinade into the thighs. Let it sit while you make the sauce.
To make the honey lemon sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the honey, lemon zest and lemon juice over medium-high heat. Bring to simmer and cook for a minute.
Pour in the corn flour mixture and stir vigorously for half a minute or until consistency becomes thick.
Remove from heat and set aside while you cook your chicken.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (if desired); and place a wire rack on it. Place chicken on the rack and cook it in the oven between 25-35 minutes.
Check that your chicken is cooked thoroughly. You can check by checking its internal temperature using a food thermometer.. The temperature should read 165° F for chicken.
Let chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Place chicken in a large bowl. Add the honey lemon sauce and toss until well combined.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chives, toss again and serve.
