Sticky Spicy Chicken - The Not So Creative Cook

I could say that even when it comes to main dish, I love anything sweet – sweet and sour, sweet and spicy. Place something sweet in front of me and you’ll be surprised by how I will gladly stuff them in my mouth. Even main dish, you ask? 😀 Yep! Even main dish.

Again, I am proud to say that I got the recipe from our darling Selma. Her blog consists of so many awesome recipes that I don’t know which one to make first.

Again, let’s take that one at a time.

I love chicken thighs and I love sweet glaze. This dish suits perfectly for my taste. I could eat the dish everyday. Apart from the dish being so lip smackingly delicious, this will be so much better with a side. Hmmm, grilled corn on the cob. Buttered corn kernels. But let’s talk about a mango salsa.

Sticky Spicy Chicken

  • Servings: 2-3
  • Difficulty: easy
  • Print

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

For the glaze:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes, adjust according to your taste

To serve:

  • 2 tbsp roasted peanuts, chopped or crushed
  • 3 spring onions finely sliced
  • Mango salsa, recipe below

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. In a baking dish, place the chicken thighs skin side up.
  3. Pour over the chicken the freshly squeezed lemon, olive oil, then salt and pepper.
  4. Roast for about 35 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, place all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes or until thick. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  6.  When the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the pan and pour the juices into the pan with glaze. Let it boil again for 2-3 minutes or until reduced.
  7. Return the chicken to the baking dish and pour the glaze all over.
  8. Put it back in the oven and bake again for 10 minutes or until the glaze has set. (Optional: broil the chicken after it has cooked so you get charred skin)
  9. Top with peanuts and spring onions.
  10. Serve with mango salsa (or any side of your choice) and white rice.

Mango Salsa: chop ripe mangoes, tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Mix together and sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro.
