IMMEDIATELY the fork and knife went into super ninja slicing mode and he devoured that chicken. Folks when he took that first bite… no seriously that FIRST BITE and tasted that sauce his eyes lit up. I smirked because I knew this was going to blow his mind. He just kinda shook his head, muttered “bbq…again” and sighed. So anyway as I was saying, I create the plates and set this in front of him. Shaved Brussels Sprouts salad – because at least you are eating healthy, right?!Īnd of course you need herb roasted baby potatoes! I plate this along with a few sides and wait… let me share which sides rock with this dish… So once these came out of the oven seriously they just LOOKED delicious! You could smell that sauce and honestly made me start to drool a bit. Then I come into the picture with my “honey try this!”, “Honey taste this fattening thing.” annnnnnnnd let’s just say he loosened up quite a bit. I think it stems from his days as a bodybuilder (when he was hardcore into it) – it was white plain chicken only. Fantabulous is sooooooooo not a dark meat fan. So into the pressure cooker the chicken went and once it was done a few minutes under the broiler and I was golden… er should I say caramelized as I had sauce from chin to elbow and could not care one iotta! But hey this was cheat day and I was not forgetting that rich dark meat. That sauce was so incredible that I could have eaten just that and forgot about the chicken. It gets uber thick and sticky – like candy sticky. don’t burn the sauce as it’s a PITA to get out of the pan. Fantabulous needed my help in the garage. The third time I burnt the sauce – cause I forgot about it because Mr. The second time, too much ginger – and I love ginger but this was HOT ginger. The first time I made it, it was waaaaaaaaaay too hot (i.e., too much Sriracha). Now full disclosure this sauce took me a few tries to get right. That weekend I took out some of my chicken thighs as my cheat meal and honestly I was heading straight for my cowboy bbq sauce but then I started thinking about that dinner at the Chinese restaurant. in a Chinese place!Īnd that got me thinking… Asian BBQ?! I’ve had it before but I haven’t ever made it. Now I wasn’t a fan so much of the ribs but HELLO. Well while we were there they brought us out some korean spare ribs to sample while we waited for our meal. One day this place will share their recipe… one day *wink*. I mean we’re talking better than any place I had in China Town that I’ve been to in NY. While I love Chinese, it doesn’t always agree with me however there is this one place we go to that literally makes the BEST wonton soup I have ever had in my life. Fantabulous doesn’t always cycle these cravings with me which meant he was super tired of bbq so he begged one night to go out for Chinese. Then I got into this huge everything had to be bbq – I mean down to my pizza even! Well unfortunately Mr. For the longest time all I wanted was tomato-based stuff – sauces, pizza, chicken Parmesan and so forth. Now I go in phases when it comes to flavor profiles. What are they in your area? Like my butcher typically sells the boneless, skinless ones for 49 cents a pound! I know, right?! That’s insane! So I’ll buy up a big batch of them, portion them out and freeze them. It’s funny though as they are ridiculously cheap here. So for me, these are deemed a ‘cheat’ meal. They taste amazing but then they should, dark meat always has a better richer taste but that also means they are higher in fat and calories. What am I supposed to do if I don’t own one?” Fear not loved family – read the notes section of this recipe as I also tell you how you can bake these! So now you have no excuse not to make this!Ĭhicken thighs are one of those indulgences for me as I don’t buy them often. Again I love kitchen and food porn buuuuuuuuuuuut yeah, ‘bedroom porn’ is not something this blog is about.Īnd before you see this recipe and go “Aw man, there she goes again with another pressure cooker recipe.
