Sweet Chili Glazed Chicken Thighs: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on recommended)
– ½ cup sweet chili sauce
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Creating Sweet Chili Glazed Chicken Thighs is a satisfying process. Follow these step-by-step instructions for delicious results:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large zip-lock bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it coats each piece well. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer if time allows.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a proper cooking environment.
4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if available.
5. Arrange Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side up on the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
6. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. If using a meat thermometer, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Broil for Crispiness: For an extra crispy skin, turn the broiler on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
8. Glaze and Rest: During the last few minutes of baking, brush additional sweet chili sauce over the chicken thighs for an extra layer of flavor. After cooking, let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

These steps are designed for simplicity and success, ensuring your Sweet Chili Glazed Chicken Thighs turn out amazing every time!
