Spicy Teriyaki Broiled Chicken Thighs Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and brown sugar to make the marinade.
• STEP 2.Place the chicken thighs in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
• STEP 3.Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.

• STEP 5.While the chicken is broiling, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
• STEP 6.Once the chicken thighs are cooked, brush them with the thickened sauce and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
• STEP 7.Remove the chicken thighs from the broiler and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
• STEP 8.Enjoy the spicy teriyaki broiled chicken thighs!

Cooking Tips

• For extra spiciness, add more red pepper flakes to the marinade.
• Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• To prevent the chicken from sticking to the baking sheet, you can lightly grease the foil before placing the chicken thighs on it.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken thighs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken thighs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the spicy teriyaki broiled chicken thighs with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables for a complete meal.
