Sticky Thai Chicken Recipes

STICKY THAI SESAME CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken thighs, smooth side down, and cook until browned (3-5 minutes). Transfer the browned chicken to a 2 1/2 quart or larger baking dish (a 9x9 square pan will work just fine).
• Turn the stove top heat down to medium and add the water, fish sauce, and sugar to the pan. Boil the sauce for 5 minutes, until thick and sticky. Pour the sauce over the chicken and transfer the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through (about 30 minutes), basting once halfway through the cook time.
• OPTIONAL: Remove cooked chicken from the dish and transfer the cooking liquid back to the pan on the stove. Set the heat to medium and boil the sauce until it has reduced to a syrupy consistency (about 10 minutes). Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve garnished with sesame seeds.

THAI STICKY CHICKEN & RIBS

Steps:

• To make the marinade, put the chillies, coriander stalks, garlic, ginger, turmeric, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar and honey in a food processor. Whizz to a rough paste. Cut each chicken thigh into 2 pieces down the side of bone (so one side keeps the bone). Put all the chicken and ribs in a ceramic dish or suitable plastic container and pour over the marinade. Turn the meat over so it is coated, cover and put it in the fridge until needed (up to 24 hrs).
• Make the sauce. Put the sugar in a pan with 250ml water, bring to the boil, simmer for a few mins to make a sugar syrup, then stir in garlic, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and chilli. Cool, then stir in coriander. Will keep for 24 hrs in the fridge.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Lift the ribs into a baking dish, cover with foil and put in the oven for 1 hr. Add the chicken pieces around the ribs, turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook, uncovered, for 20 mins or so until the chicken is cooked through. By now the surface of the ribs and chicken should be quite brown and the marinade slightly sticky; if it isn't, put the lot under the grill - but keep an eye on it.
• Cut the ribs into sections and pile onto a platter with the chicken, drizzle over some sauce and serve the rest alongside with the salad and some steamed rice.

THAI STICKY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut slashes in the chicken drumsticks and thighs and place them in a wide bowl or large food bag.
• Place the remaining ingredients in a food processor and blend to a rough paste. Alternatively, pound the chilies, ginger, garlic, lemon grass and cilantro using a pestle and mortar and then stir in the sugar, lime juice and fish sauce and pour over the chicken, tossing to coat.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or seal the bag and leave to marinate in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight if possible, tossing occasionally. Preheat the oven to 425°F
• Remove the chicken from the fridge about 30-40 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and arrange in a single layer in a roasting tin. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes or until the meat is coming away from the bone.
• Arrange the chicken pieces on a warm serving platter and place the roasting tin on a medium heat on the hob. Pour in the reserved marinade and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping the sticky bits from the bottom, until thickened and sticky. Pour the sauce over the chicken, scatter with cilantro leaves and serve.
