Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

In an oven safe cast iron or stainless steel skillet, melt the ghee, then season both sides of the chicken with sea salt and black pepper, and place skin side down into the pan for 5-6 minutes or until the skin browns and releases easily from the pan.

While the chicken cooks, combine the onion, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, chili flakes, coconut aminos and more sea salt and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.

Flip the chicken thighs over so that they are now skin side up in the pan, then pour the sauce mixture over the chicken evenly and place the pan into the oven for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.

Serving Size: Makes 3 servings

    I have used coocnut aminos in place of soy sauce as it is both wheat and soy free. Not as flavorful as soy sauce, but a good substitute. If you don't have a problem with either gluten or soy, you can probably use regular soy sauce. - 9/15/14

    Can this be made with boneless, skinless chicken breast (it's all I have)? - 9/18/15

    Question, what is the purpose of the coconut aminos? Are they essential to the recipe or can they be left out if I can't get them easily? - 9/15/14
