SPICY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN



Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken image

This is a simple worknight dish that will totally surprise you with flavor. It's great because every cook I know has all of these ingredients in their cupboards already! I got this recipe from a Cooking Light magazine and I serve it with pan fried broccoli and sweet hawaiian rolls. You can either use chicken breasts, or chicken thighs, and I recommend using boneless and skinless! This has only a medium spicy level, so just increase or decrease red pepper flakes to your taste... and enjoy!

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

HONEY-GLAZED CHICKEN AND SHALLOTS



Honey-Glazed Chicken and Shallots image

The combination of a sweet glaze, tangy shallots and pan-roasted chicken makes this a quick but decadent one-pan meal. Caramelizing shallots first, then tossing them with sherry vinegar gives them a pickled but syrupy bite. A little heat from a spicy chile and some freshness from parsley leaves balance this flavorful dish. Serve right off the stove, over cooked grains or alongside a crisp salad.

Categories     dinner, quick, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks (6 to 8 pieces)
Salt
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
1 pound shallots (about 8), peeled and halved, quartered if large
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 fresh hot chile, such as Thai, Scotch bonnet or serrano, minced with or without seeds
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the shallots and cook, turning frequently, until lightly caramelized on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken skin side down and sear without moving until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn and cook the other side until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, and add 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Use a spatula or tongs to loosen any stuck bits. Stir the honey, lime juice, garlic and chile into the liquid around the chicken pieces. Cover with a lid or foil, and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to high and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes more.
  • Toss the shallots with the sherry vinegar and parsley, and season with salt. Serve the chicken with the dressed shallots and spoon the pan sauce over everything.

SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS WITH SWEET & TANGY HONEY GLAZE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Spicy Chicken Thighs with Sweet & Tangy Honey Glaze Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by rossboys

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the Chicken
1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
For the Honey-Vinegar Glaze
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons + 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, divided

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack in the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Prepare the glaze by combining the honey with 2 teaspoons of the vinegar in a small bowl; stir well. Broil the chicken for 5 minutes on each side (for a total of 10 minutes). Remove the chicken from the oven and brush half of the glaze on the chicken; broil for 1 minute. Remove the chicken from the oven and turn over; brush the chicken with the remaining honey mixture and broil for 1-2 minutes more, until the chicken is nicely browned. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Transfer the chicken and pan juices to a platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right honey. Not all honeys are created equal. For this recipe, you'll want to use a dark, robust honey, such as buckwheat or manuka honey. These honeys have a stronger flavor that will stand up to the other ingredients in the glaze.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken thighs are a relatively forgiving cut of meat, but they can easily become dry if they're overcooked. Cook the chicken thighs until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the glaze is thick and sticky. The glaze is what gives this dish its signature flavor, so it's important to make sure it's thick and sticky. If the glaze is too thin, it will run off the chicken and won't coat it properly.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it even more flavorful and moist.

Conclusion:

Spicy honey glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
