Steps:
- Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
- Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

THE ONE GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
I wanted to roast my chicken thighs one night but was out of foil so I didn't want the big sticky clean up. I decided to pull out a big frying pan instead and came up with these delicious, moist, and perfectly flavored boneless chicken thighs. You could use chicken legs as well. Breasts would work too, but you wouldn't want to cook them as long. The trick to these is cooking them low and slow!

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in large frying pan with a fitting lid. Sprinkle thighs with salt and pepper to taste.
- When oil is hot, brown chicken on each side. Remove chicken from pan and drain any water if there is any left. A little bit remaining is okay.
- While chicken is browning, in a separate, small saucepan, combine all remaining ingredients over high until bubbly. Keep simmering until it gets to a thicker glaze consistency.
- Return chicken to pan. Pour glaze all over chicken and cover with a lid. Turn heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Uncover chicken and cook on low to medium until glaze is thick again.
- Serve chicken and pour remaining glaze over it.

SMOKED AND GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
Smoky, floral, and acidic, these aren't your typical smoked chicken thighs. The lavender comes through nicely and isn't overpowering; the thyme pairs well with the lavender and strawberries. The strawberries and white balsamic pair nicely and the vinegar adds a good bit of acidity to balance the sweetness from the peak-season strawberries and the caramelized sugar. The thighs have a light amount of smoke and are juicy and tender.

Steps:
- Prepare the strawberry gastrique: Puree strawberries in a blender on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
- Cook sugar in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, amber in color, and nutty in aroma, about 5 minutes. Carefully add vinegar (mixture will crystallize immediately and begin to boil) and reduce heat to low. Cook sugar mixture, stirring frequently, until crystallized sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add strawberry puree and thyme and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt. Cover to keep warm until ready to use.
- Prepare chicken: Open the bottom vent of a grill completely. Light a charcoal chimney starter filled with briquettes. When briquettes are covered with gray ash, pour them onto the bottom grate of grill, and then push to 1 side of grill. Place 3 to 4 applewood chunks on top of hot coals. Coat top grate with oil. Cover grill and insert an instant-read thermometer into a vent in the lid.
- Stir together lavender, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly and liberally with lavender mixture.
- Place chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side up, over the side without coals. Cover and smoke, maintaining temperature inside smoker between 225 and 250 degrees F (107 to 120 degrees C), for 1 1/2 hours. Brush with 1/4 cup gastrique, cover again, and smoke until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 170 degrees F (76 degrees C), 15 to 30 more minutes.
- Transfer chicken thighs to a large plate or platter and brush lightly with another 1/4 cup gastrique. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with remaining gastrique, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger adds flavor and helps tenderize the meat.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Glaze the chicken frequently: Basting the chicken with the glaze helps keep it moist and flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the oven.
Conclusion:
Glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
