A sweet-tangy-spicy glaze of Asian pantry staples caramelizes beautifully under the broiler. To complete the meal, serve with jasmine rice tossed with sliced green onions and lime rind strips.

I made this for 2 of us with 12 ounces of chicken thighs (2). It was super easy and VERY good! So was the slaw. The meat was so moist and tender. I think the meat was only in the broiler for about a total of 6 minutes. I accidently added 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the glaze and didn't boil it down completely to 3 tablespoons. I ended up adding 1/2 tablespoon vinegar to the slaw dressing and also adding 1 tablespoon of the glaze. I think that really gave it added flavor. I used angel hair slaw and light mayo. This recipe as written would not have served 4. You would need to double the glaze for that much chicken and increase the amount of slaw.

Easy to do most ahead. My kids loved the chicken and one even loved the slaw. I made pineapple skewers as well. Served with garlic, ginger jasmin rice.

My husband and I loved this! The slaw and chicken complimented each other perfectly. I was worried the slaw would be too mayonnaise-y, but it was perfect!
