Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Preheat the oven to 420°F (220°C), or 400°F (200°C) for a fan/convection oven.
02
Line a large baking pan with foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer so they lie flat and are not folded or crowded.
03
In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
04
Spoon about two-thirds of the glaze over the top of the chicken thighs, spreading it evenly over the surface. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
05
Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the pan from the oven.
06
Switch the oven to high broil. Move the oven rack so the chicken will sit about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heating element.
