Preparation
Step 1
1.In a medium bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2.Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
3.Mix Rub Ingredients together in a small bowl and rub all over chicken.
4.Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and sear 2-3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove chicken to plate.
5.Add sauce and simmer 1 minute, scraping sides of pan to deglaze. Add chicken back to skillet, and spoon some sauce over chicken. Bake 8- 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through depending on thickness.
6.Garnish with desired toppings and serve over rice.
Notes
*I prefer thighs because they are oh so tender but you may substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts but make sure they are pounded THIN. Adjust baking time accordingly.
**I use 3 tablespoons then sprinkle a little brown sugar on the top after baking - so good!
