2 lbs skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
zest of 1 lime
1 1/2 TBSP lime juice
1 inch ginger, peeled and grated
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1 tsp Sambal Oelek
2 TBSP fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
2 TBSP vegetable oil
Sriracha, lime wedges and cilantro for serving
Directions
- Combine all marinade ingredients and add the chicken thighs. Marinade for 2-4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and placing wire racks on top. Place chicken, skin side up, on top of wire racks. Pour the marinade into a small pot. Bring the marinade to simmer and simmer for 5 minutes or so until thickened.
- Bake the chicken for about 45 minutes until cooked through. The internal temperature should be around 175-180F. (Although it’s safe at 165F, the connective tissue found in chicken thighs breaks down and stops being chewy at a higher temperature.) Broil the chicken for a minute or two until the skin is crisp and browned. Serve the chicken with the cooked marinade, sriracha, lime wedges, cilantro on top of rice. Enjoy!
