Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken. New Music From Newmen.

That video is my latest favorite. It’s ridiculousness makes me laugh every time. “MOO!”

Dinner is far less funny, but very tasty.

This Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken is a simple, yet elegant dish. The Asian-inspired flavors are perfect with the tender chicken thighs. Rice and some colorful, simply prepared veggies round out the meal.

Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sweet soy glaze (such as Kikkoman)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cups cut vegetables, such as broccoli florets, red bell peppers and/or carrots (about 1 pound)
Steamed white rice, for serving

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450℉.

2. Mix the soy glaze with the rice vinegar and garlic. Divide the sauce between 2 small bowls and add 2 tablespoons water to one bowl; set aside.

3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 6 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 4 more minutes. Pour the thinned soy glaze mixture over the chicken. Transfer to the oven and bake, 10 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, combine the vegetables, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the remaining soy glaze mixture.

5. Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the remaining soy glaze mixture. Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with the vegetables and rice.
