Recipe video above. One of the most amazing Asian chicken thigh recipes I have ever come across. Intense in flavour, but so fast and easy to prepare! The chicken is so tender, it eats like it's been slow-cooked.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients in a bowl. Marinate for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes, or up to overnight.
2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and place in the pan. Sear both sides until browned – about ⏱️ 1 minute on each side. Do not cook the chicken all the way through.

5
Add the reserved marinade, water, sugar and black pepper. Bring it to a simmer then turn heat down to medium high. Simmer ⏱️ 5 minutes.
6
Add chicken smooth side down. Simmer uncovered for 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes (no need to stir), turning chicken at around ⏱️ 15 minutes, until the sauce reduces down to a thick jam-like syrup.
7
If the sauce isn't thick enough, remove chicken onto a plate and let the sauce simmer by itself - it will thicken much quicker - then return chicken to the skillet to coat in the glaze.
8
Coat chicken in glaze then serve over rice. Pictured in post as a healthy dinner plate (415 calories) with cauliflower rice and Ginger Smashed Cucumbers.
