Super Easy Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Chicken

You'll want to marinate this chicken for about an hour or two at least.

If it works with your schedule, I find that marinating it and letting sit on the counter for the next hour before roasting results in a good level of seasoning without making the meat feel and taste brined, while bringing the chicken up to room temp, which is optimal for cooking while retaining juices.

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 3.5 poundschicken drums and/or thighs, scored twice on each side about 1 inch apart
  2. 1/3 cupThai sweet chili sauce (I used Mae Ploy brand.)
  3. 1/4 cupchopped cilantro
  4. 2.5 Tablespoonsfish sauce
  5. 2 Tablespoonshoney
  6. 2 Tablespoonssriracha or sambal
  7. 1 Tablespoonminced or grated ginger (you can use a teaspoon of dried ginger if you don't have fresh)
  8. 1 Tablespoonminced or grated garlic
  9. 2 Tablespoonsminced shallot (1/4 cup of chopped green onion or 3 Tablespoons of minced onion will work in a pinch)
  10. 2 Tablespoonslime or lemon juice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and massage gently and thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

  2. 2

    Let marinate for at least an hour, up to three hours, before roasting. If you're going to roast in an hour, best to leave the chicken out on the counter and allow it to come up to room temp before roasting. Halfway through the marinade time, redistribute the chicken to ensure even seasoning.

  3. 3

    15 minutes before roasting, preheat the oven to 425F.

  4. 4

    Set the chicken on a rack over a roasting pan (or on a broiler pan with slats), keeping the extra marinade to glaze the chicken in the last 15 minutes of roasting.

  5. 5

    Roast the chicken on the center oven rack for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the pieces, then spoon the leftover marinade in even portions over the chicken pieces and continue to roast for another 15 minutes to give it a chance to caramelize.

  6. 6
