Rained Out

On Friday night, we wanted to grill some chicken thighs which I purchased on sale from Village Farms on Park Blvd in Massapequa Park. Village Farms has become my go-to supermarket now that I have stopped driving to Plainview. I still plan on trying more of the local supermarkets though.

My husband found this recipe for Cedar-Planked Chicken Thighs with Soy-Ginger Glaze on Weber grill’s website. Unfortunately, while preparing the glaze on the stove, we heard thunder and within minutes it was pouring rain outside. Forget the grill – I ended up sautéing the chicken thighs on the stove and pouring the glaze on top. We hope to try the recipe on the grill before the summer is over!

I posted this recipe on my other blog The Cooking Accountant. This recipe is adapted from the Cedar-Planked Chicken Thighs with Soy-Ginger Glaze on the Weber website.

Sautéed Glazed Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

-          10 skinless boneless chicken thighs

-          ¾ cup soy sauce

-          ½ cup balsamic vinegar

-          ½ cup packed brown sugar

-          1 tablespoon minced garlic

-          1/8  teaspoon ginger powder

-          ½ teaspoon pepper

-          1/8 cup sesame oil

Preparation

Clean any remaining fat and membrane from the chicken thighs.

In a saucepan, cook the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and brown sugar until reduced by half (about 20 minutes). Remove the saucepan from heat and add the garlic, ginger powder, pepper and sesame oil.

In a frying pan, brown the chicken thighs on both sides and then let them cook through until the chicken is opaque.

Pour the glaze over the chicken thighs, loosely cover with aluminum foil and turn down the heat to a medium simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, turn the chicken thighs over and simmer for another 10 minutes.

Serve with stir fry vegetables and/or brown rice.
