Description
A flavorful and sticky Thai chicken dish that is gluten-free and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free soy sauce, honey, fish sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Grill or pan-sear the chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
- While the chicken is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the thickened marinade and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken and serve it drizzled with additional sauce, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the marinade.
- Serve the sticky chicken over a bed of jasmine rice or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
