BAKED SWEET-AND-SOUR CHICKEN

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
One 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
Large pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow), quartered lengthwise and seeded
1 bunch scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (3 to 3 3/4 pounds)
Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Make the sweet-and-sour sauce: Whisk the ketchup, marmalade, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl. Put the bell peppers and scallions on a rimmed baking sheet and toss with 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Working in batches, add the chicken to the skillet skin-side down and cook, undisturbed, until the skin is golden and slightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Place skin-side up on the baking sheet with the vegetables.
  • Brush the chicken with half of the remaining sweet-and-sour sauce. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Divide the chicken and vegetables among plates. Serve with rice and the remaining sauce.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

1 serving cooking spray
½ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)

  • Mix barbeque sauce, honey, brown sugar, and chile-garlic sauce together in a bowl until you have no clumps of brown sugar. Spoon about half the sauce into a separate bowl for serving.
  • Arrange chicken breast halves onto the prepared sheet. Brush sauce from one of the bowls onto breasts.
  • Bake chicken breasts in the preheated oven, brushing with sauce every 10 minutes, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Season with pepper and serve with the reserved bowl of sauce for dipping.
