Talk about easy, but melt in your mouth juicy~ this Sweet and spicy sticky chicken is awesome! I wanted to do something different tonight, but affordable, that we would enjoy and would wake up our taste buds! This was the perfect dish! My boys and hubby ate every last piece, while licking their fingers clean! :) The mom-wife in me LOVES to see this!! :)
Sweet and Spicy Sticky Chicken!
10 chicken thighs, shaken in Ziplock gallon bag with
1/2 cup flour mixed with 3 Tbsp corn starch and 1 Tbsp salt~
Bake on greased (Pam) cookie sheet at 450 degrees, Best with a wire rack, for 20 minutes-flipping once if you do not have a wire rack, Make up Sticky Sauce and heat in sauce pan on simmer. After baking for 20 minutes, put each piece of chicken into sweet sauce (won't be 'syrupy' yet, at this point), then back onto cookie sheet to cook for another 20 minutes~
Sauce~
2 Tbsp minced Garlic
2 Tbsp grated ginger
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 cups apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Sriracha Chili Sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
|
Continue to simmer sauce on low, or just on true simmer til sauce is nice and syrupy, while chicken bakes for last 20 minutes! I grated ginger, and threw in some shaved pieces to get 'candied' as well~ it's so good! |
|
After you cook chicken for the 2nd time for 20 minutes, make sure there are no pink juices . If the juices are running clear, you're good to go! Take the baked chicken and toss in large bowl with the Sticky Syrup! Toss well, and serve immediately with lots of napkins! YUM, YUM!! Sometimes getting your fingers sticky is so worth it!! :) |
