Chinese Style Baked Chicken Thighs Food

ASIAN BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425° and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Place chicken thighs skin side up in the baking dish, leaving a little room in between each one.
• Whisk all ingredients for the sauce in a small mixing bowl and pour it all over the chicken. Move the chicken around a little to get sauce underneath.
• Bake for 20 minutes and flip each chicken thigh. Bake another 20 minutes and flip them back over. Bake 5-10 more minutes skin side up, until it's baked through. (Internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°.)
• Garnish with some diced scallions and sesame seeds if you wish.

CHINESE-STYLE BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400º F. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray or lightly oil.
• Season the chicken thighs (with or without skin) with the 5-spice powder and salt and pepper. Brush with hoisin sauce and place in the oven.
• Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until cooked through.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced onion on top, if desired.
• **UPDATE** - One of the best parts of this recipe, as written, is the crunchy crisp delicious skin- it's almost candy-like. But since we have been trying to eat leaner more often I've been playing with this recipe a bit to make it cook better without the skin. If going skinless, lower the oven temperature to 375º and use a pan that has at least a 1-inch rim about it. This keeps the meat much moister while allowing the sauce to cook on to the meat.

ASIAN CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Put the chicken on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, sprinkle with the five-spice powder and toss. Arrange skin-side up; season with salt and pepper. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp, 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the hoisin sauce, brown sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a small bowl. Grate 1 garlic clove into the sauce; set aside. Chop the remaining garlic. Trim the broccolini and slice lengthwise into long florets. Trim and scrub the carrots; halve or quarter lengthwise.
• Preheat the broiler. Brush half the hoisin sauce mixture on the chicken and broil until bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush with the remaining sauce and broil 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccolini, carrots and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is soft, 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Uncover and stir in the sesame seeds.
• Divide the chicken among plates; top with the scallion. Serve with the vegetables.

• Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat and coat with cooking spray.
• Once the pan is hot, add the chicken thighs, 3-4 at a time, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. Don't move the chicken once you put it in the pan, let it get nice and brown on one side before you turn it over. Remove the chicken to a serving platter.
• Pour the remaining marinade in the hot pan and cook down for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Strain the sauce in a sieve and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and/or the chopped scallions.
• Note: Tamari is a type of soy sauce that his a richer flavor. Once you try Tamari, you won't buy any other soy sauce again!

Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
• Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.
