No, I’m not calling this dish “Asian Chicken Thighs” solely because I’m of Chinese ancestry. (Though come to think of it, I call dibs on putting the prefix “Asian” on every one of my recipes. They sound more exotic that way, don’t you think?)Rather, this simple weeknight chicken dinner hits all the notes that you’ve come to expect from Asian comfort food. It’s savory, sweet, tangy, and packed with umami. And did I also mention that the marinade can be ready in just minutes?Here’s what to gather to feed 4-6 people:
- 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and cut into thirds
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 slices of fresh ginger, each approximately the size of a quarter
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons macadamia nut oil or fat of choice
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Red Boat fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey (or ½ small apple, peeled, cored, and diced)
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 pounds chicken thighs
Here’s how to make the chicken:Dump everything except for the chicken into a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth. Then, bake the bird parts for 40 minutes at 400°F. The end!What?!? You want to see step-by-step pictures? Man, you guys sure are demanding. But if you insist…
