6-Ingredient Honey Soy Baked Chicken Recipe Is a Flavorful Budget Dinner

All the ingredients in the marinade are heavy hitters, so this easy honey soy baked chicken recipe packs a punch. What it doesn't take a punch at is your wallet! This is a budget-friendly recipe the whole family will enjoy.

Fresh minced garlic, fresh grated ginger, olive oil, soy sauce and honey are mixed together to create the flavorful marinade. The chicken marinates in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to overnight. The marinated chicken is put into a baking dish and baked in the oven until cooked through, about 45 minutes depending on the size of your chicken legs. 

This Asian-inspired baked chicken recipe would be incredible served with fried rice and stir-fried vegetables. If you have any leftovers, reheat it for leftovers the next night or pick the chicken meat off the bone and make chicken salad with mayonnaise, chopped green onions and sliced almonds or cashews. Delish!
