Description
A recipe for chicken thighs coated in a spicy, sweet, and sticky glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken thighs, skin-side down, for 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Flip the chicken thighs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the glaze.
- Pour half of the glaze over the chicken thighs in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven, brush the chicken with the remaining glaze, and return to the oven.
- Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the glaze is thick and sticky.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken drumsticks for thighs if you prefer.
- For extra stickiness, you can briefly broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
