After determining that I was making the sweet potato fries for dinner tonight I went into the freezer and picked chicken thighs as my protein. Then the decision of what to do with them came up. I want to use the leftovers for a pizza on thursday night so I needed some sort of sauce on the chicken to make it good for pizza. I started with an orange and worked a few more ingredients and came up with an asian bbq sauce. I think it will go really good on pizza in a few nights because it was really good on its own tonight. The sauce is similar to the sauce I used in the Asian Sausage and Pepper recipe with just a bit of tweaking.
8 chicken thighs
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp Soya sauce
zest and juice of 1 orange
1 Tbsp sweet chili sauce
1 Tbsp grainy mustard (or dijon)
1/2 cup ketchup (use the cheap stuff if you have it)
2 Tbsp frozen OJ
1 tsp sesame oil
pepper
2 tsp teriyaki seasoning and/or garlic seasoning
In a large skillet (preferably one that can go in the oven) brown the chicken thighs on all sides. In a seperate bowl combine all the other ingredients and whisk until combined. Pour over browned chicken thighs and place in a 375F oven for 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them though. If the sauce reduces too much pour a little bit of water in so it does not burn.
I promise to post the pizza recipe after I make it.
