How to Make Thai Sticky Chicken

  1. Trim excess skin and fat from 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
  2. Using a cleaver or sharp knife, cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  4. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Remove excess air from the bag (if using) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. If marinating in a dish, gently stir the chicken every 30 minutes to redistribute the marinade.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, skin-side up.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (this is the sticky sauce).
  9. After 30 minutes, pour the sticky sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped peanuts.
  10. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
  11. Serve immediately over hot rice or your favorite Asian noodle dish.
