Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup peach preserves
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach preserves, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red chili flakes. Stir well and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
If grilling, place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the chicken is almost cooked through.
If baking, place the chicken thighs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Brush the peach ginger glaze generously over the chicken on both sides. If grilling, continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the glaze is caramelized and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If baking, brush the glaze onto the chicken during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
