Sticky Pantry Chicken Thigh recipe

1. You can substitute the brown sugar for honey or maple syrup.

2. Any hot sauce will work, just be sure to adjust for spiciness to your taste.

3. You can make this using any cut of chicken, and is suitable for grilling, baking or cooking on the stove.

4. Always refer to the cooking instructions for the rice as the water to rice ratio differs between different brands. Generally the rule of thumb is 1 cup of uncooked rice with 1 1/2 cups water.

5. You can substitute the broccolini for other vegetables if you want, just be sure to cut them to a size such that they would cook in boiling water in 1 to 2 minutes – that is a suitable size to “steam” using the residual heat of the rice.

6. Marinading for a while (up to 24 hours) is optional but not necessary. This recipe makes such a great glaze it’s not critical to get the flavours infused into the chicken.

7. This marinade/sauce is fantastic for grilling on the BBQ as well. Omit the hot sauce, and the kids will love it!
