Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken thighs, removing excess skin and fat for a healthier profile.
  2. Marinate the chicken thighs using the sweet chili sauce and low-sodium soy sauce for at least 30 minutes, allowing flavors to penetrate.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken thighs using your preferred method (oven, air fryer, or slow cooker) until tender and cooked through. The oven/air fryer method typically takes 25-35 minutes.
  4. Prepare the sticky glaze by carefully reducing and caramelizing the natural sugars in the sweet chili sauce, augmented by brown sugar and a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
  5. Glaze the cooked chicken thighs with the prepared sticky sauce, ensuring every piece is coated for a vibrant, flavorful finish.
