Maple Soy Glazed Chicken Thighs
Maple Soy Glazed Chicken Thighs feature boneless, skinless chicken thighs generously seasoned and cooked in a skillet with a glaze of maple syrup, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and apple cider vinegar. The sauce cooks down and caramelizes onto the chicken, imparting a balanced sweet and savory flavor and sticky texture. Fresh parsley adds a herbaceous finish to the rich, tender chicken.
Ingredients
- 8-12 chicken thigh approximately 3 lbs, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup real 100% pure
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, minced
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt to season chicken thighs
Instructions
- Generously season chicken thighs with salt.
- Combine maple syrup, soy, hoisin, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl or pyrek with pour spout and whisk with fork. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet on medium high heat. Turn skillet so it's well oiled. Add chicken, smooth (or what would be skin) side up, to sear.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes before adding sauce and then flip chicken, smooth side down.
- Keep heat at medium-high and let sauce boil, cooking down. Cook for another 2-3 minutes before flipping to smooth side down.
- Keep cooking the glaze and chicken until most of the liquid has cooked off. Keep the chicken smooth side down so that the sauce carmalizes to the chicken.
- After another about 10 more minutres of cooking, or until the glaze has mostly cooked off and chicken has reached 165 degrees, remove from heat and serve immediately.
