If you’re looking for an easy chicken thigh recipe that delivers every time, this is it.

These oven-baked chicken thighs come out golden, juicy, and full of flavour, then get finished with a sticky miso jerk glaze that brings sweet heat, savoury depth, and a glossy, caramelised finish.

No complicated steps. No overthinking.

✨ Why This Works (Simple Tips)

This recipe keeps things simple:

Cook the chicken first, then add the sauce.

That’s it.

It means the chicken cooks through properly, stays juicy, and the sauce turns sticky and glossy instead of burning.

RECIPE

Ingredients

6 chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in)
1 tbsp oil
Sea salt

4 tbsp Ama's Sticky Miso Jerk Sauce

1 lime (optional)

Method

Prep:
Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Place chicken thighs on a tray, drizzle with oil, and season with salt.

Roast:
Cook for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.

Glaze:
Remove from the oven and spoon over Ama’s Sticky Miso Jerk Sauce, coating each piece.

Finish:
Return to the oven for 5–10 minutes until the sauce is hot, sticky, and slightly caramelised.

Serve:
Finish with a squeeze of lime, if you like.

How to Served It:

With rice, roasted veg, or a quick slaw to balance the heat.

Or straight from the tray - the best kind of dinner.

Chef’s Notes:

No need to overthink it. This recipe is designed to be simple and reliable.

Add extra sauce at the end if you like it saucier - it works both ways.

Works in an air fryer too - cook first, glaze at the end.
