Asian Marinated Chicken Thighs

Print Options
Description
This is an Asian-inspired marinade that I used on chicken thighs but can be used for any meat or poultry. There’s a bit of tang from the lemon and lime zest, a bit of spice from the chili flakes and Sriracha, and a hint of nuttiness from the sesame oil. The chili flakes and sriracha can be adjusted to your taste, or even omitted completely. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cups Canola Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Flakes In Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fish Sauce
- ¼ cups Cilantro, Finely Minced
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon Lime Zest
- Sriracha, To Taste
- Salt And Black Pepper
- 4 Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken Thighs
Preparation
1. For the marinade, stir together the canola oil, sesame oil, chili flakes, fish sauce, cilantro, garlic, lemon zest, lime zest, Sriracha, salt, and pepper.
2. In a small container, reserve and refrigerate 3 tablespoons of the marinade to drizzle over the cooked chicken.
3. Wash the chicken thighs and pat dry with a towel.
4. Place the chicken in either a container with a lid or large Ziploc bag.
5. Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and mix well.
6. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
7. To broil the chicken, adjust the oven rack to top third, so it’s about 8 inches from the top heating element.
8. On a broiling pan, place thighs skin side down.
9. Broil for 16–18 minutes.
10. Flip the thighs so skin side is up.
11. Broil for an additional 12–14 minutes.
12. Serve with the reserved 3 tablespoons of marinade on the side.

I find it in Asian grocery stores. It’s basically oil infused with pieces of crushed red chili peppers. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Kum-Chiu-Chow-Chili/dp/B0000CNU15/ref=pd_sim_sbs_gro_2
Chili infused oil works as well, as does just regular chili/red pepper flakes.

What are “chili flakes in oil”? Is this a product you buy? I tried to search on this and did not see anything other than regular chili flakes.
