How to make Sticky Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs
Heat the oven to 400°F. Blot the thighs dry. Mix the avocado oil, lemon pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and rub it over the chicken.
Set the thighs skin-side down on a lined rimmed pan. Roast 20 minutes, then turn and roast about 10 minutes more, until the skin crisps and the chicken reaches 165°F.
Mix the sweet chili sauce, soy, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Coat the cooked chicken and transfer it to a broiler-safe pan. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely until the glaze bubbles.
