HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

HONEY AND SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MARINATED CUCUMBERS
Steps:
- 1. Place the chicken in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. Seal and turn bag to coat chicken evenly. Marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
- 2. Peel the cucumbers and halve lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard. Thinly slice and toss in a strainer with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit 10 minutes in the sink to drain. Rinse, drain well and pat dry on paper towels. Toss in a bowl with the vinegars and chives. Set aside.
- 3. Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, honey, lemon juice, and thyme in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to blend. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- 4. Line the bottom of a broiling pan with foil and brush top pan with oil. Arrange the chicken on the pan, skin-side up. Bake the chicken, brushing often with the honey-soy mixture, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Put the oven on the broil setting and liberally brush each thigh with more of the honey-soy mixture. Broil until nicely browned, watching carefully to avoid burning. Season with pepper. Serve chicken with the cucumber salad.

SPICY HONEY - GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
This chicken is wonderfully sweet and spicy..not too sweet..just right with the spices. It kind of reminds me of the Chinese chicken on a stick. My family loves it..kept asking when I would make it again. I used thighs, I am sure you could use breasts. I like thighs, because they are always moist and to me more flavorful. Also,...

Steps:
- 1. If only making 1/2 the amount of chicken, cut the amount of spices in half. In a large bowl; combine the first 6 ingredients.
- 2. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat well. I left it sit in the spices for a good 2 hours.
- 3. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil chicken 15 - 20 minutes on each side.
- 4. Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well.
- 5. Remove chicken from oven; brush each thigh with the honey mixture, place back under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until starts to get a golden brown, making sure not to burn. Repeat on the other side. I then place on a platter and let it rest a few minutes, then if any glaze is left, brush each thigh again, right before serving.
- 6. They are delicious..Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F. In a large measuring cup whisk together 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, red pepper, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Add the flour to a wide, shallow dish. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper then coat both sides of the chicken with the flour. Pat off excess flour. Add the oil to an ovenproof 12-inch skillet. Set the pan over medium heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down; cook until the skin is well browned and most of the fat has rendered, about 8-14 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until the second side is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of fat from pan. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the orange juice mixture to the pan and increase the heat to high. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy and has reduced to 1 cup - a heatproof spatula should leave a slight trail when dragged through the glaze, about 6 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and tilt so the glaze pools in the corner of the pan. One at a time, dip the chicken thighs in the glaze, coating both sides evenly and then place the thighs skin side up in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through about 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Set the skillet back on the stove top over high heat and cook the glaze, stirring constantly, until it is thick and syrupy - a heatproof spatula will leave a wide trail when dragged through the glaze, about 1 minute. Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of orange juice and whisk to combine. Drizzle each chicken thigh with some of the glaze before serving.

- Add wine to the skillet and scrap up bits. Increase the heat to medium high and let cook 3 minutes. Add the butter and let butter melt. Add the glaze and increase heat to high. Stir constantly and let it thicken. Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the chicken back to the skillet with any juices. Baste the chicken with the glaze and cook 3 more minutes.
- Serve immediately.

HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
We do have a Chinese restaurant in our small town, but it is a buffet and I am so spoiled by my friend Pan who owns two Chinese restaurants in Tuscaloosa, AL. For the most part we just fix Chinese, Italian, German, Thai whatever here at the house and save dinner out for very special occasions.

Steps:
- 1. Mix all ingredients, except chicken, in a small dish; whisk to combine. Transfer to a large plastic food bag and add chicken. Seal bag tightly and turn it over several times so the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- 2. Prepare charcoal grill or preheat broiler.
- 3. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Grill or broil chicken 6 inches from heat source, brushing several times with remaining marinade, until cooked. 20 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
- 4. The original recipe was for a grilled or broiled chicken. Not wanting to tend to either one night I decided to bake the chicken instead. I think it is my preferred way and so easy.
- 5. Bake at 350-degrees for about 1-1 1/2 hours, until crispy brown. Serve with white rice or fried rice.
