These bite-sized appetizers are steeped in a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, ginger, citrus, and honey. The marinade is then reduced and used to glaze the chicken. Ingredients:
2/3 cup honey |
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce |
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 16 thighs) |
cooking spray |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons water |
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal and shake well. Add chicken; seal and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 425°.
3. Remove chicken from bag, reserving marinade. Arrange chicken in a single layer on the rack of a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes, stirring once.
4. While chicken is cooking, strain marinade through a sieve into a bowl; discard solids. Place marinade in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes; skim solids from surface. Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Add cornstarch mixture to pan, stirring with a whisk; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat; pour glaze into a large bowl.
5. Preheat broiler.
6. Add chicken to glaze; toss well to coat. Place chicken mixture on a jelly roll pan; broil 5 minutes or until browned, stirring twice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
