Description

Sticky Sweet Chili Chicken is an amazing dish that combines the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. This flavor-packed recipe features tender chicken thighs coated in a rich, caramelized glaze that is sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure that each piece is thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.
  6. Baste Periodically: Halfway through the cooking time, baste the chicken with the marinade to enhance the flavor and keep it moist.
  7. Final Touch: Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. This step helps retain juiciness.
  8. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top for added color and flavor.

Notes

For a milder dish, reduce the amount of crushed red pepper flakes. For an even richer flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
