OMG, this is one tasty dish! First, I just love dark poultry meat. Always have… there is just so much more flavor in those thighs than in the breast. Second, you bake this with a thick, sticky, sweet, spicy and slightly salty glaze. Need I say more? I serve this with brown rice and simply steamed veggies like broccoli, carrots, zucchini or snow peas.

Since you can make this sauce days in advance this is actually a great meal for midweek. Easy to pull together, you can have this on the table in under an hour.
