• Ready In: 12 hrs 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 10  garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 4  serrano chilies, with seeds, thinly sliced
• 3  teaspoons  finely grated fresh ginger
• 1  cup olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 3  tablespoons fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
• 1  tablespoon kosher salt
• 2  lemons, sliced, plus wedges for serving
• 6  sprigs thyme
• 8  skin-on bone-in chicken thighs (about 3½ lb.)

Directions

1. Whisk garlic, chiles, ginger, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, and salt in a medium bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Add lemon slices and thyme. Place marinade and chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Turn to coat, and chill at least 12 hours.
2. Heat oven to 450°. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess, and place, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°, 25–30 minutes. Serve chicken with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
