Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Prepare marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetable oil, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour half of marinade mixture into the bottom of a 9” x 13” glass or ceramic baking dish. Refrigerate the other half of the marinade mixture at 40 °F or lower for use in step 9 (referred to as “reserved marinade”).
  • Place chicken in baking dish. Cover. Marinate in the refrigerator at 40 °F or lower for 2 hours. Flip chicken to marinate the other side. Cover. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 more hours. Wash hands after touching uncooked chicken (see chef tips).
  • Preheat oven to 400 °F.
  • Spread shredded cabbage on the bottom of a clean 9” x 13” baking dish.
  • Remove chicken from marinade. Discard any remaining marinade (see chef tips).
  • Place chicken on top of cabbage. Wash hands after touching uncooked chicken.
  • Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Heat chicken to an internal temperature of 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds. Remove from the oven.
  • Serve 1½ chicken thighs with ¼ cup cooked cabbage. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.

The CHEF TIPS:
  • Chicken can be marinated overnight in the refrigerator at 40 °F or lower. If marinating overnight, marinade should cover the chicken thighs to prevent the need to flip them over.
  • Do not re-use marinade.
