For 4 servings

Chicken

700 g (1⅜ lb) chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, 5–7 pieces

Glaze

Equipment

Oven
Pan
Grill or broiler

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 220°C/420°F (200°C fan).
Step 2: Choose a pan large enough for the thighs to lie flat without bunching or folding. Line the pan with foil and place the thighs in it.
Step 3: Mix the glaze ingredients together. Spoon about two-thirds of the glaze over the top surface of each thigh, not the underside. Reserve the rest.
Step 4: Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the pan.
Step 5: Set the grill or broiler to high and adjust the shelf to 20 cm (8 inches) from the heat source.
Step 6: Spoon the pan juices over the chicken, then spoon or dab the remaining glaze onto the chicken.
Step 7: Broil for 8 to 10 minutes, until the surface is nicely caramelized.
Step 8: Remove the chicken and let it stand uncovered for a few minutes before serving with the pan juices.

Notes

For the glaze, ketchup can be replaced with tomato sauce or barbecue sauce; brown sugar can be replaced with white sugar, or with 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. Use light or all-purpose soy sauce, not dark soy sauce. Line the pan with foil because the glaze can stick firmly; do not use parchment paper under the broiler.
