Description
An easy and delicious Asian-inspired dish featuring tender chicken thighs glazed with a savory-sweet soy sauce and brown sugar mixture, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Prep: Rub the thighs with the olive oil. Salt and pepper the thighs on both sides.
- Sauté: Place the thighs in a 10 inch ovenproof skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes without moving them until the skin is lightly browned.
- Drain: Transfer the chicken to a plate and pour off any drippings from frying.
- Arrange: Place the chicken thighs back into the pan, skin side up.
- Glaze: Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken.
- Roast: Roast for about 25 minutes, basting occasionally until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
Notes
Black cast iron pans cook quicker and hold heat more than a regular metal pan or ceramic dish. If using a metal pan or baking dish, roast the chicken longer than 25 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and coats the chicken when basted.
