Quick sort of BBQ Baked Chicken Thighs

I recently made a turkey meatloaf with a quick BBQ glaze which both Lyn and I said will make again. I thought the glaze or similar might be good on skinless chicken thighs.

Ingredients for 5-7 skinless boneless chicken thighs

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar , lightly packed
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut Secret* or soy sauce , all purpose or light (NOT dark)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 clove garlics , minced
  • *We use this all the time instead of soy

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 420 F
  • Use a pan large enough to fit the thighs lying flat (not bunched up/folded)
  • Line pan with foil (make super easy clean up), place thighs in pan.
  • Whisk together Glaze. Spoon over about 2/3 of the Glaze on the surface of each (not underside), put the rest to the side.
  • Bake 15 minutes, remove pan.
  • change to broiler on high, (I remember that there never used to settings for broil ) adjust shelf to be 7-8″ from heat source.
  • Spoon pan juices over chicken. Then spoon/dab remaining Glaze onto chicken.
  • Broil chicken for 8 to 10 minutes until surface is nicely caramelized.
  • Remove and stand for a few minutes (uncovered) before serving.

Of course everyone has thier own idea of what a handful of or a pinch of is.

1/3 cup. How do I measure up to you?

Patti sent me a chain letter the other day, normally I would have just hit the delete button but it was from Patti so I looked. The jest was to send a recipe to the next person on the list and then remove that person and add yourself to the bottom (only 2 people to start with). After doing that you were to send the starter email out to 20 of your friends. I bought into it (sorry guys) and gladly sent out a recipe. Well this started a conversation going between my brother, sister and myself about measurements. “I can’t send a recipe because I don’t measure anything”. I will admit I understand where they were coming from although I start with a recipe on new things I quickly move away with a handful of this, a pinch of that and a half palm full of ….eyeballing I guess is the best way to describe. My first try I measure as the cook says, I figure I should at least taste what they created.  I like to talk about what I made last night at to anyone that will listen and sometimes they ask for the recipe. It was not long that before I knew that this much in the palm of my hand was about a teaspoon and a handful was close to a cup of chopped herbs and ½ if crumbs or similar. A small grab and twist of fresh cilantro was about 2 Tablespoon minced…. I think you get the idea. So whether you measure or not and you like to share recipes it does not take long to figure out how your handful measures up. This is not me throwing a guilt trip on them they just got me thinking.
