Tips For Cooking This Boiled Chicken Thigh Recipe

As you can see, I have described in depth how you can cook it perfectly. But here are some superb, mind-blowing golden tips that can upgrade your recipe completely. Check below:

1. Add a dash of acid: If you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar right at the end of cooking, then it can seriously brighten the dish as well as balance the sweetness of honey and ketchup and make the flavors pop.
2. Don’t skip the resting time: Once you’re done cooking, don’t just serve it immediately. Let it rest in the broth itself for 5 to 10 additional minutes off the heat before serving. What it does is it soaks up even more flavor and stays incredibly juicy.
3. Upgrade the broth into a glaze: Remove the chicken thighs and let the broth simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes until it reduces into a thicker glaze. You can pour it over the chicken before serving. Trust me, you will keep licking the plates.

That’s all, don’t make the recipe too complex. It is very easy and can be completely prepared within an hour or even less. Here are some serving suggestions.
