Servings: 4 serves
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 (about 2 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or to taste (you can use your favorite hot sauce)
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Set your oven to HIGH broil and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, and garlic until well combined.
- Brush the chicken. Brush about two-thirds of the sauce over both sides of the chicken thighs, reserving the rest for later.
- Broil. Place the chicken under the broiler and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining sauce. Remove the chicken from the oven, brush with the remaining sauce, and broil for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking time will depend on the size of the thighs.
- Rest and serve. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- This recipe is for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. NOT bone-in and skin-on. If the skin is on, it will begin to smoke.
- Adjust the oven rack. Position the chicken about 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element. Keep an eye on it since broiler intensity varies between ovens.
- Broiler intensity varies from oven to oven, so keep a close eye on the chicken as it cooks. The brown sugar in the sauce can burn quickly under high heat.
- You do not need to flip the chicken after the initial broil, but you can if you want to.
