Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon seasame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then sprinkle them evenly with cornstarch and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Flip the chicken thighs and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and add honey, rice vinegar, fish sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Place the chicken back into the skillet, coating each piece with the glaze.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving.
Enjoy your delicious Soy-Free Asian Glazed Chicken with steamed rice or your favorite side!
