Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, erythritol sweetener, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, sear the chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
Pour the prepared glaze over the chicken thighs, turning them to coat well.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Occasionally baste the chicken with the glaze while baking to ensure a richly flavored coating.
Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the glazed chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Plate the chicken and spoon some of the remaining glaze from the skillet over the top, if desired.
Serve hot, paired with a side of steamed veggies or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
