Description
Sticky Baked Chicken Thighs are your weeknight dinner hero—juicy, flavorful, and ready in 30 minutes with pantry-friendly ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
700g (1.4 lb) boneless, skinless chicken thighs (5–7 pieces)
For the glaze:
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tbsp brown sugar
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/420°F (200°C fan-forced).
- Line a baking pan with foil for easy cleanup. Place the chicken thighs flat in the pan, without overlapping.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing all the glaze ingredients in a bowl.
- Coat the chicken with about two-thirds of the glaze, applying it only to the top of the thighs.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Switch to broil/grill mode on high. Move the oven rack so the chicken is about 20cm (8 inches) from the heat source.
- Spoon the pan juices over the chicken, then apply the remaining glaze.
- Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops are nicely caramelized.
- Rest the chicken for a few minutes before serving. Use the flavorful pan juices as a sauce.
Notes
Use foil to make cleanup easy—parchment paper isn’t safe under the broiler.
Only glaze the tops for better flavor and texture.
Customize the glaze with your favorite sweeteners, vinegars, or spices.
