Directions
Soy Balsamic Chicken Thighs, Found this in a cook book I got at the library, have been using a lot of balsamic vinegar recently and this recipe appealed. The flavours are delicious and its so easy. Prep time includes marinating., I added potato starch with water to the pan in the end, to make that glazey shiny sauce you have at Chinese restaurants. Sprinkled the chicken with green onions and white sesame seeds to make it pretty. This recipe was easy and very tasty., I grew up with this baked chicken recipe. My mom made this from time to time. However she did add a little water to help balance the soy and vinegar and she didn’t really marinate overnight. She just made the sauce and maybe let the chicken sit in it for like 15, maybe 20, minutes and actually baked the chicken with the sauce mixture while adding some onion and.. the secret ingredient.. lemon grass : She grew it in our yard, so she had me go in the back and cut maybe a small handful of blades. And then after washing it, she bunched them up and tied them together and put it in the pan with the sauce underneath all the chicken. As the chicken bakes, the flavor of the lemon grass will incorporate into the sauce and cook nicely into this recipe. The sauce is not thick obviously and is soupy but it cooks down a little while the chicken bakes. Halfway through the bake, we would baste the chicken with the soup and in the beginning, I also put a small square of butter on each thigh. It made the skin a little crispy as it baked under the heat. Adding some carrots and celery helped with the flavors, too. When done, we only ate it with Jasmine white rice but any rice goes good with this, I think. Don’t forget to pour some soup on the rice. And salad on the side completes this meal:
