In a medium-sized bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, 1/2 the garlic, salt, pepper & olive oil.

Step 4

Add the chicken thighs to the the soy marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Set aside to let the chicken marinate.

In a bowl, add the cucumber ribbons, remaining garlic, sesame oil & sliced scallions. Mix it all together & refrigerate until serving time.

Line a sheet tray with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade & arrange on the sheet tray. Roast in the oven for 25-30 min, or until the internal temp reaches 165°F. For extra crisp, turn on the broiler for the last 2 min of cooking.
