Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 units green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha sauce.
Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the glaze for later use.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes.
Pour the remaining glaze over the chicken, coating each piece thoroughly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
After the chicken is cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the stove over medium heat.
Add the cornstarch mixture and reserved glaze to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Once the glaze has thickened, remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the Asian glazed chicken with steamed rice or gluten-free noodles for a complete meal.
