Ingredients
- 5 chicken thighs, about 1 ½ pounds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup canned coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
- Once the butter has melted, add 5 chicken thighs, to the skillet skin-side down and goof for 3-4 minutes until the skin is browned and crispy.
- Flip the chicken over and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve on a plate.
- Add 1 cup chicken stock, ½ cup canned coconut cream, 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger, 1 pinch red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice to the skillet and whisk over medium heat until combined. Continue to whisk until it begins to simmer.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet before putting the skillet in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the internal temperature of the chicken hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you want the skin crispy, turn the oven to broil on high and broil for 1-2 minutes until it's golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
