Quick Asian Honey-Glazed Chicken
- 8 whole Chicken Thighs, Boneless With Skin Removed
- 1 cup Bottled Italian Salad Dressing
- 1/2 cups Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds, For Garnish
- Chopped Green Onions, Optional For Serving
- Steamed Rice, For Serving
- 1.
- Trim boneless, skinless chicken thighs of all fat and slice into 1 to 2 inch chunks.
- 2.
- Place chicken into a large zip-lock bag and add the bottled Italian salad dressing (I use an inexpensive store brand), then add the honey, lime juice, and red pepper flakes.
- 3.
- Tightly seal the bag and smoosh around until combined.
- Put it into the refrigerator and let it marinate for about an hour (or up to overnight).
- 4.
- Heat a cast iron pan or heavy fry pan over medium high heat, then add the chicken mixture with a slotted spoon, or your clean hands.
- Youll want to avoid dumping it in as that will be too much marinade in the pan, although you do want at least 1/2 cup of the marinade to cook with the chicken.
- 5.
- Cook uncovered over medium high heat for about 20 minutes.
- It should bubble gently and the marinade will reduce.
- Stir it frequently.
- As the marinade cooks down it will transform into a wonderful caramelized glaze.
- The longer it stays on the heat the darker it will become.
- Lower the heat and continue to stir to avoid burning.
- Remove from the pan when chicken is done and its the color you like.
- 6.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if you like and serve with rice.
