Wedding Chicken Thighs with Fish Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cloves garlic
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
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 lemons, sliced, plus wedges for serving
6 sprigs thyme
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 3½ lb.)

Steps:

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.
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.
DO AHEAD: Chicken can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
