Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for maximum flavor and juiciness. This will change the cooking time though and take longer to cook, because the bone absorbs some of the heat
  • Line your baking tray with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  • If you like your chicken extra sticky, brush with extra honey in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Char the corn (grill or pan-fry) before adding it to the salsa for a smoky kick.
  • If you want crispier chicken then you will need to use skin on thighs.
