Savor the flavors of Sticky Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs. This recipe delivers tender, spicy, and sweet perfection for any dinner table.
Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 cup of sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of honey
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish
Optional: red pepper flakes for added heat
Instructions
Begin by placing the chicken thighs in a mixing bowl. Add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Use your hands or a spatula to coat the chicken thoroughly. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
While chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the thighs cook evenly and develop a deliciously crispy skin.
Once marinated, arrange the chicken thighs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pour any remaining marinade over the top for an extra flavor kick. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
For that irresistible sticky finish, turn on the broiler and broil the chicken for an additional 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Finish your dish by garnishing with chopped green onions and optional red pepper flakes for those who enjoy extra heat. Pair the chicken with jasmine rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
Notes
A quick and flavorful dish that features chicken thighs glazed with sweet chili sauce, perfect for impressing family and friends.
