Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own delightful Thai Sticky Chicken Thighs:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, chili flakes, and vegetable oil until well combined.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Marinate: Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for deeper flavor).
4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Prepare Baking Dish: Line a baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
6. Transfer Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Place the thighs skin-side up in the prepared baking dish.
7. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
8. Reduce Marinade: While the chicken is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened slightly.
9. Glaze Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, brush it generously with the reduced marinade during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a sticky glaze.
10. Rest Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
These steps will guide you through preparing your delicious Thai Sticky Chicken Thighs effortlessly.
