Clementine Glazed Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Food

BONELESS CHICKEN THIGH RECIPE (FAMILY FAVORITE)

Steps:

• Trim fat from chicken thighs. Place the thighs and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix thoroughly, making sure that chicken thighs are covered with oil and spices really well.
• Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you are in a rush, you may skip this step, but the chicken will be more flavorful if you let it marinate in oil and spices.
• Preheat a large skillet with a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. We find that a non-stick skillet works better if you are after a nice brown color but a cast iron or copper pan will work as well.
• Place the chicken thighs on the skillet, one at a time, making sure they are not folded and ensuring that they lay flat on the skillet. Sear chicken thighs for 1 minute or so per side, until nicely browned.
• Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for another 4 minutes, flipping chicken thighs twice during the process.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until fully done (internal temperature 165 F).
• Serve with your favorite side dish. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and Italian parsley (optional).

ASIAN GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. 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.
