SWEET AND STICKY ASIAN CHICKEN THIGHS: THE PRETTY FEED
Chicken thighs are always juicy and tender but this asian inspired glaze recipe was an absolute crowd pleaser and we will definitely be making it again and again. Our eyes literally 'glazed' over when we had that first bite. It's so simple to make, in facts it's almost impossible to mess this one up, and it's aesthetically pleasing when plated. It's sweet and spicy (if you want to add more kick go ahead) and we are thrilled to have this new staple in our repertoire!

Steps:
- Before turning on any burners and stressing yourself out, we like to prepare the glaze. You can even do this the night before and let all the flavors really settle in and intensify. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sweet chili sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice. Set aside for now.
- When you are ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the chicken, salt and pepper. Cook chicken about 3 minutes on each side until brown on each side. Set chicken aside on plate and cover (Note: we always cut one piece of chicken open before eating to make sure it's cooked. Alternatively, you could use a thermometer and check that it's reached a temperature of about 155 Fahrenheit-slightly underdone since you will be putting it back on the heat)
- Add the sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens. Stir lightly and watch carefully.
- Add chicken back to the skillet and coat each side with the sauce cooking for 2-3 additional minutes or until 165 degrees.
- Have a large serving dish ready on the side and using tongs transfer each piece of chicken to it. Then poor the sauce over all the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. VOILA! Isn't it beautiful?!

- EXTRA DETAILS:.
- You will notice the sauce doesn't get very thick in the pan (no need to continue boiling it) because once it cools down it will get much stickier and turn into more of a glaze (due to the sugar).
- This recipe is not as fast if you get chicken thighs WITH bones. If don't have boneless chicken thighs just make sure you cook them longer.
- Left overs are delicious.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for large, boneless, skinless chicken thighs. These will cook evenly and stay moist.
- Prepare the chicken thighs: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the marinade adhere better.
- Make the marinade: Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and stir to coat.
- Marinate the chicken thighs: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken thighs: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
- Make the glaze: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
- Baste the chicken thighs: Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and brush with the glaze. Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes more, or until the glaze is caramelized.
- Serve: Serve the chicken thighs immediately with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Sweet and Sticky Asian Chicken Thighs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions.
