Nothing like the picture!! I did, however, probing follow the recipe very carefully. Very tasty though and I would cook again

This was beautifully crispy. I would suggest saving a bit of the marinade to baste with. It helped with the browning rather than just the drippings.

Flavorful and delicious. Keeper.

Made this with a chicken maryland as I couldn't get chicken thighs with bone in and skin on. I am not a fan of bone-in chicken cuts and would make this again with skin on thighs that were deboned. Great flavour. Made it with the fluffy coconut rice and an Asian slaw. Would benefit from a quick blast under the grill at the end of cooking time for a more charred finish.

Fantastic flavor. My family loved this served with the recommended coconut rice - convenient since they both bake at the same temperature.

Delicious and would be a great meal prep weekend recipe, a bit time intensive for a weeknight as you bake for close to an hour-ish to allow the skin to get really crispy. I subbed boneless skinless as that is what I could find. I also used tamari for the soy. Served with the Vietnamese cucumber salad from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat which went nicely with the chicken.

This was delicious! It looks beautiful and is easy. Served with homemade potstickers from this book, a green salad with the Asian dressing from this book and Tom Douglas’ spicy peanut noodle salad. Nice entertaining meal.
