Irresistible Asian Glazed Chicken Thighs Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup rice vinegar
• 0.33 cup soy sauce (such as Silver Swan®)
• 5 tablespoons honey
• 0.25 cup Asian (toasted) sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Asian chili garlic sauce
• 3 tablespoons minced garlic
• salt to taste
• 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, minced garlic, and salt. Reserve half of this mixture for later use as a sauce. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag, saturate with the marinade, remove any air, and seal. Refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally for even flavor distribution.
3. Set your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Simultaneously, transfer the reserved marinade to a saucepan and heat over medium. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens—about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, set the thickened sauce aside.
4. Take the chicken thighs out of the marinade, shaking off the excess. Discard the used marinade. Arrange the chicken thighs in a 9x13-inch baking dish and brush with a third of the thickened sauce you prepared.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting once after the first 10 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) using an instant-read thermometer. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
6. Reheat the remaining sauce to a boil for 1 minute, then serve over the chicken and garnish with fresh green onions.
