Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients for efficiency.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hot honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the marinade over, seal tight, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Slice the zucchini into half-moons and toss in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the marinated chicken in the center and scatter the zucchini around.
  6. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the chicken and zucchini.
  7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for the chicken.
  8. Let the dish rest for a few minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
