Description
Hot & Tangy Devilled Chicken with Garlic-Vinegar Kick is a flavorful Filipino dish that combines spicy and tangy flavors for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the white vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the reserved marinade and water into the skillet with the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- For a crispy skin, broil the chicken for an additional 3-5 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- Serve with steamed rice or a side of sautéed vegetables to balance the heat and tanginess.
