Asian-Glazed Chicken Thighs

These succulent Asian-glazed chicken thighs offer a vibrant blend of sweet and savoury flavours, making them a standout choice for a nutritious evening meal. This high-protein dish relies on a fragrant marinade of fresh orange juice, honey, toasted sesame oil, and zesty ginger to achieve a beautifully caramelised finish. By allowing the chicken to marinate overnight, the meat becomes incredibly tender while absorbing the deep aromatics of the garlic and subtle heat from the red pepper flakes.

Perfect for a wholesome family dinner or a post-workout feast, this recipe is as practical as it is flavourful. The chicken is roasted until golden and served over a bed of soft rice noodles which soak up the sticky, citrus-infused pan sauce. Finished with a garnish of crisp spring onions, it provides a balanced, homemade alternative to a takeaway that is both light and satisfying.

Ingredients for Asian-Glazed Chicken Thighs

  • 8 chicken thighs

  • Finely grated zest of 2 oranges

  • 180ml fresh orange juice

  • 60ml honey

  • 45ml soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

  • 1 tablespoon garlic

  • 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • 230g rice noodles

  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced, for garnish

How to make Asian-Glazed Chicken Thighs

  1. The day before serving, rinse the chicken and pat dry. Place in a bowl.

  2. Combine the next 8 ingredients to make a marinade; toss with the chicken to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.

  3. Thirty minutes before cooking, remove the chicken from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 177°C. Arrange the chicken in a large, shallow roasting pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the marinade over the chicken.

  4. Bake the chicken until it's golden brown and cooked through, basting frequently, about 45 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the rice noodles. Let soak until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain, rinse under warm water, and drain again.

  6. Divide the noodles between 4 bowls. Place 2 chicken thighs in each bowl and spoon the pan sauce over the top. Garnish with spring onions and serve immediately.
