1/2 cup pomegranate molasses
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a bowl, mix pomegranate molasses, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, and soy sauce until combined.
Place chicken thighs in a zip-top bag, add half the marinade, seal tightly, shake well, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Transfer marinated chicken to the baking dish, drizzle with remaining marinade, and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Brush any remaining marinade on the chicken five minutes before removing it from the oven for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy with your choice of sides.
