Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sweet soy glaze (such as Kikkoman)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, grated
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cups pre-cut vegetables, such as broccoli florets, red bell peppers and/or carrots (about 14 ounces)
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the soy glaze with the rice vinegar and garlic. Divide the sauce between 2 small bowls and add 2 tablespoons water to one bowl; set aside.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 4 more minutes. Pour the thinned soy glaze mixture over the chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the vegetables, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap. Microwave until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the remaining soy glaze mixture.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven; brush with the remaining soy glaze mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the vegetables and rice.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

GARLIC-BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN THIGHS



Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs image

Garlic and brown sugar meld to balance out this deeply savory (and deeply simple) sauce for succulent chicken thighs. Low-sodium chicken broth and reduced-sodium soy sauce keep it flavor-rich yet less salty. If some of the sauce spreads on your plate into some brown rice or green veggies, all the better.

Categories     Baked Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, grated
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1 pound), trimmed
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
1 scallion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Pour half the sauce into an 8-inch-square baking dish.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and place in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken; reserve the skillet. Bake, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°F, about 30 minutes.
  • Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Pour the sauce from the baking dish into the small skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until reduced to 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with scallions and cilantro.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

900 g chicken thighs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
4 cm gingerroot, fresh peeled finely grated
125 ml soy sauce
3 tablespoons chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
2 tablespoons clear honey
1 tablespoon soft brown sugar
2 dashes hot chili sauce (to taste)
parsley (fresh)

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok and when hot add the oil and heat. Stiir-fry the chicken thighs for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches.
  • Pour off the oil and fat and, using absorbent kitchen paper, carefully wipe out the wok. Add the garlic with the root ginger, soy sauce, chinese rice wine or sherry and honey to the wok and stir well. Sprinkle in the soft brown sugar with the hot chilli sauce to taste, then place over the heat and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then carefully add the chicken thighs. Cover the wok and simmer gently over a very low heat for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened and gazes the chicken thighs.
  • Stir or spoon the sauce occasionally over the chicken thighs and add a little water if the sauce is starting to become too thick. Arrange in a shllow serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality soy sauce. A dark, rich soy sauce will give your chicken the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of sugar. Brown sugar is a classic choice, but you could also use honey, maple syrup, or even agave nectar.
  • Add some spices to your glaze. Garlic powder, onion powder, and ginger are all good options.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken thighs are best when they are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Soy brown sugar glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and juicy chicken dish that will impress your family and friends.
