Oriental Chicken Thighs image

This is one recipe we make quite often. I found this recipe in Taste of Home. The original recipe calls for cooking in a skillet on the stove, but I also bake it in the oven. Same great tasting end result. I reduce the amount of red pepper flakes because we don't like it too hot. I serve it with rice and vegetables. The baking time may differ depending on the size of the thighs.

The chicken thighs didn't cook evenly. Some pieces were overcooked while others were still raw.

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet.

I substituted chicken breasts for thighs and it turned out just as well.

This oriental chicken thighs recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and slightly tangy. I served it with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli, and it was a perfect meal.
