Chef's Notes
For extra tender chicken, marinate the seasoned thighs in the glaze for 30 minutes before cooking
Remove jalapeno seeds for milder heat, or leave them in for maximum spice
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness without overcooking
Serving Suggestions
Serve this vibrant dish over jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious glaze. Pair with roasted vegetables like asparagus or Brussels sprouts for a complete meal. This dish shines as a centerpiece for dinner parties or romantic date nights.
