Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 1 cup plum preserves
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the plum preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown.
- Flip the chicken thighs over and pour the plum glaze over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is bubbling.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious glaze, or pair with a fresh salad for a lighter meal.
