Delicious sticky Asian glazed chicken thighs cooked in a skillet with a flavorful blend of rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and ginger, finished with optional sesame seeds and green onions for an irresistible glaze.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1 tbsp Avocado Oil

Glaze

  • ⅓ cup Rice Vinegar
  • ½ cup Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Chili Garlic Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ tbsp Ginger (minced)

Optional Garnishes

  • Sesame Seeds
  • Green Onion (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Add the Glaze and Simmer: Pour the prepared vinegar and soy sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze has thickened to coat the chicken.
  4. Thicken the Glaze (if needed): If the glaze is not thick enough, carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Increase heat to medium and continue cooking the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with the thickened glaze and serve topped with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
  • If you prefer a spicier glaze, increase the amount of chili garlic sauce.
  • Serve with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
  • The glaze can be thickened further by adding a cornstarch slurry if preferred.
  • Avocado oil is used for its high smoke point, but you can substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
