Asian Glazed Chicken Thighs image

Slightly spicy, but the sweetness tames the heat. Serve with rice.

Provided by Essanaye

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup rice vinegar
5 tablespoons honey
⅓ cup soy sauce (such as Silver Swan®)
¼ cup Asian (toasted) sesame oil
3 tablespoons Asian chili garlic sauce
3 tablespoons minced garlic
salt to taste
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon chopped green onion

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
1 small carrot
1 small red onion, halved
1 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
4 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
3 teaspoons hot Asian chili sauce, such as sambal oelek
8 ounces white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Juice of 1 lime
4 whole-wheat sesame hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Grate the carrot and 1/2 onion into a large bowl. Add the chicken, panko, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, the ginger, 3 teaspoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sambal oelek and mix until combined. Shape the chicken mixture into 4 patties and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, thinly slice the remaining 1/2 onion. Toss with the mushrooms, sesame oil, lime juice and the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons sambal oelek with 1 tablespoon water in another bowl. Warm the hamburger buns in the oven. Serve the burgers on the buns with a drizzle of the hoisin-sambal sauce and some of the mushroom mixture.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Season Your Chicken Generously: Don't be afraid to season your chicken liberally. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of chicken.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for optimal tenderness and juiciness.
  • Let the Chicken Rest Before Serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and moist dish.
