Thai Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
3 tablespoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
3 pounds chicken thighs
¼ cup crushed roasted peanuts optional
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves optional
Directions
In a large container or gallon-sized heavy duty zipper top bag combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce. Ad the chicken thighs and turn them to coat well with the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken on the baking sheet skin side up and roast for about 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked all the way through, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the peanuts and cilantro if desired.
