Sticky Glaze Chicken Thighs With Asian Stuffing Recipe 455

STICKY GLAZE CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ASIAN STUFFING RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas mark 6. Lay the chicken thighs out flat on a clean work surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 5mm (¼ inch). Place the chicken thighs in a bowl and add 40ml (3 tbsp) of the teriyaki sauce. Toss the chicken in the sauce to coat it. Cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, make the stuffing. Mix together the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and pat them dry with kitchen paper (paper towels). Discard the marinade. Season with salt and black pepper. Place a chicken thigh on a piece of clingfilm. Add a spoonful of stuffing, then roll it in the clingfilm, twisting the ends to create a tight package. Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs and stuffing. Allow to rest for 10 minutes in the refrigerator. Lay 3 pieces of string on a chopping board. Carefully unwrap a chicken thigh and lay it across the strings. Tie each string around the thigh and secure with a knot to keep the roll together. Repeat with the remaining chicken thighs. Drizzle some rapeseed oil into a large ovenproof pan set over a medium heat. Add the rolled chicken thighs and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning regularly, to colour all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, until the centre of the chicken reaches 74°C (165ºF). Transfer the chicken to a warmed plate and loosely cover it with kitchen foil. Drain off the fat in the pan, then pour in the chicken stock, the remaining teriyaki sauce and the rice vinegar. Bring to the boil and cook over a high heat for 5-6 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the strings from chicken thighs and serve with the sauce.

SWEET AND STICKY ASIAN CHICKEN THIGHS: THE PRETTY FEED

Steps:

• Before turning on any burners and stressing yourself out, we like to prepare the glaze. You can even do this the night before and let all the flavors really settle in and intensify. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sweet chili sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, garlic and lime juice. Set aside for now.
• When you are ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add the chicken, salt and pepper. Cook chicken about 3 minutes on each side until brown on each side. Set chicken aside on plate and cover (Note: we always cut one piece of chicken open before eating to make sure it's cooked. Alternatively, you could use a thermometer and check that it's reached a temperature of about 155 Fahrenheit-slightly underdone since you will be putting it back on the heat).
• Add the sauce to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens. Stir lightly and watch carefully.
• Add chicken back to the skillet and coat each side with the sauce cooking for 2-3 additional minutes or until 165 degrees.
• Have a large serving dish ready on the side and using tongs transfer each piece of chicken to it. Then poor the sauce over all the chicken and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. VOILA! Isn't it beautiful?!
• EXTRA DETAILS:.
• You will notice the sauce doesn't get very thick in the pan (no need to continue boiling it) because once it cools down it will get much stickier and turn into more of a glaze (due to the sugar).
• This recipe is not as fast if you get chicken thighs WITH bones. If don't have boneless chicken thighs just make sure you cook them longer.
• Left overs are delicious.

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.
