Glazed Honey Soy Chicken Thighs Food

STICKY HONEY SOY CHICKEN - BAKED

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
• Line pan: Line a baking dish with foil then baking paper. The baking tray should fit the chicken comfortably, not too spaced apart (glaze will dry out), not too snug (glaze won't thicken enough). (Note 3)
• Glaze: Mix the Glaze ingredients together.
• Pour glaze over chicken: Place onion and chicken in the baking dish skin side down, then pour the Glaze over.
• Bake 50 - 60 minutes: Bake for 25 minutes, then turn and bake for a further 25 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is browned and the glaze is sticky. If the glaze is not syrupy, remove the chicken to a plate and put the pan back in for a few minutes (it will reduce quickly).
• Squidge/coat chicken - Turn chicken and squidge in the glaze, then also spoon it over.
• Serve! Serve with rice and steamed greens, sprinkled with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro/coriander leaves.

HONEY & SOY CHICKEN WITH SESAME BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil and ½ tbsp garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don't worry if not - they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 45 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
• When the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using, and heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 1 min, then tip in the broccoli along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season. Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin.

GLAZED HONEY SOY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a large sealable bag, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, vegetable oil, garlic, ginger, scallions and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag, then carefully move the chicken around in the bag until it's well coated. Refrigerate the chicken for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-proof baking wrack on top.
• Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade. Shake off any excess marinade from the chicken then arrange the thighs skin-side up on the baking rack. Bake the chicken for 15 minutes. While the chicken is baking, make the glaze.
• Whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Add the reserved marinade to a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring the marinade to a boil then whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue boiling, whisking intermittently, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. (The glaze must come to a boil to get rid of any potential bacteria from the raw chicken.) Remove the glaze from the stove.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the oven and brush them generously with the glaze. Return them to the oven until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear and not pink, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven, brush it with additional glaze and serve.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat a large wok and when hot add the oil and heat. Stiir-fry the chicken thighs for 5 minutes or until golden. Remove and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. You may need to do this in 2-3 batches.
• Pour off the oil and fat and, using absorbent kitchen paper, carefully wipe out the wok. Add the garlic with the root ginger, soy sauce, chinese rice wine or sherry and honey to the wok and stir well. Sprinkle in the soft brown sugar with the hot chilli sauce to taste, then place over the heat and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then carefully add the chicken thighs. Cover the wok and simmer gently over a very low heat for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce is reduced and thickened and gazes the chicken thighs.
• Stir or spoon the sauce occasionally over the chicken thighs and add a little water if the sauce is starting to become too thick. Arrange in a shllow serving dish, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

HONEY AND SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MARINATED CUCUMBERS

Steps:

• 1. Place the chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. Seal and turn bag to coat chicken evenly. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
• 2. Peel the cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard. Thinly slice and toss in a strainer with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit 10 minutes in the sink to drain. Rinse, drain well and pat dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the vinegars and chives. Set aside.
• 3. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, honey, lemon juice, and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to blend. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• 4. Line the bottom of a broiling pan with foil and brush top pan with oil. Arrange the chicken on the pan, skin-side up. Bake the chicken, brushing often with the honey-soy mixture, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Put the oven on the broil setting and liberally brush each thigh with more of the honey-soy mixture. Broil until nicely browned, watching carefully to avoid burning. Season with pepper. Serve chicken with the cucumber salad.

HONEY-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain most of the excess grease from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind.
• Arrange chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan. Place crushed garlic between the chicken and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add honey, water, vinegar, and soy sauce. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until sauce reduces down and thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.

SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Whisk honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat chicken dry and season with 1 tsp. salt. Cook cut side up (you want the smooth side with the most surface area to hit the pan first) until deeply golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken and reduce heat to medium-low. Turn chicken and continue to cook, spooning sauce over occasionally, until sauce is syrupy and chicken is cooked through, 6-8 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Season broccoli with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
• Transfer chicken to a platter. Spoon any remaining sauce over. Serve with rice and broccoli alongside. Top chicken with scallions, sesame seeds, and sesame oil (if using).

HONEY & SOY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, score the chicken thighs twice through the skin, season and transfer to a bowl.
• Whisk the honey with the soy, lemon juice, ketchup, ginger, garlic, chilli flakes and fennel seeds. Pour this over the chicken, making sure that each piece is coated, then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hrs, or overnight if you have time.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Line a large roasting tin with foil and put in the oven to heat up for 10 mins. Gently shake the excess marinade off the chicken thighs, reserving the bowl of leftover marinade, then carefully arrange in a single layer in the hot tin. Drizzle with the oil and roast for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small pan and bring to the boil over a medium-low heat, stirring often. Cook for 7-10 mins, or until thick and syrupy.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and carefully pour any juices from the tin into the pan with the syrupy sauce and continue to cook for 5 mins until the sauce is the consistency of double cream.
• Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then return the roasting tin to the oven for 10-15 mins more, or until the thighs are sticky and tender, and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Slice some spring onions along their length and scrape a knife along the shreds to curl them, if you like, then scatter over the chicken. Serve warm or at room temperature with rice and salad or steamed greens.
