Fiery
Sweet Chicken Thighs Recipe
This
dish combines my love of spicy hot Thai food with a sweet, almost barbecuelike
sauce. Ingredients :
2
tablespoons peanut oil
4
pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
3
poblano peppers, chopped
1
medium onion, finely chopped
4
garlic cloves, minced
3/4
cup apricot brandy or chicken broth
1/2
to 1 cup chili garlic sauce

How
To Make Fiery Sweet Chicken Thighs :
In
a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in batches.
Transfer to a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Add poblanos and onion to drippings;
cook and stir until crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute
longer.
Remove
from heat; add brandy. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to loosen browned
bits from pan. Stir in chili garlic sauce and chili paste; pour over chicken.
Cook,
covered, on low until a meat thermometer inserted into chicken reads 165°, 4-5
hours.
