Soy honey glazed chicken thighs is a great recipe I want to tell you about.  This is definitely restaurant-worthy and the sauce is delicious!

I never get tired of chicken.  It is so versatile.  Fried chicken, grilled chicken, chicken legs, chicken breasts.  Put just about any spice you can think of on it and you’ve got yourself a different tasting meal.  And chicken is so darned affordable.  The thighs that I used in this post cost $4.00.  It is definitely hard to beat.

This recipe features chicken thighs and I think that the thigh is the most flavorful of the chicken parts.  The thighs are baked while swimming in a bath of vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and honey. The sauce keeps the thighs nice and moist and are fall apart tender when they are done.

And there’s garlic.  Who doesn’t like garlic?  5 cloves chopped up that mellow and sweeten in the baking process.

The thighs are baked for 45 minutes and the skin starts to brown and the fat of the skin is rendered out.  Just pull the thighs out of the skillet, then let the sauce rest so that the rendered fat all rises to the top.  Skim the fat off the sauce, then add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it slightly.  You will end up with about 3/4 cup of delicious soy and honey glaze to pour over the tender chicken.

The result will be one of the best chicken dishes you have ever had.  And you’ll want to pour that sauce on everything else that you are serving with the chicken.  Soy honey glazed chicken thighs are just that good.
