Dragon Thighs
After a hard night at CrossFit, a bunch of us head over to New Seasons for their Hot Plate Special. For $6.99, it is hard to beat a hot meal of fresh organic produce and free range poultry. You can pick your items and create a meal easily devoid of processed foods. Add an avocado to the plate from the produce section and give your body what it wants – delicious and necessary fat!
There is one particular item, Dragon Thighs, that sometime shows up and is always in high demand. A sweet and spicy marinated chicken thigh baked until it can do no wrong…mmhhh. We decided to make the New Seasons recipe and couldn’t believe how simple it was. Get chicken thighs (bone and skin), put into marinate for 24 hours, and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes[CORRECTION: Picked up some experience baking chicken, 20 minutes ought to do it. Keep it moist!]. The marinate is sweet soy sauce, chili garlic paste, ginger puree, and some lemon or lime juice.

It was awesome. Jessica cooked it to perfection and it smelled and tasted just like dragon thighs.
Notes for the future:
use thinner pieces
don’t put left over sauce on top when baking. that was my call and I can hear Jess telling me to “stick to the plan!”.
experiment with lemongrass, fish sauce, and wings.
Anton Emery says: Cool, i have all the stuff at home except for chili garlic paste. Gotta make a stop for that after work.
If any of you go out looking for sweet soy sauce you can get it at New Seasons i think, but also at most Oriental Markets.

KC says: So, how much of each ingredient? Not a terribly creative cook and would appreciate a more precise recipe. Also love those dragon thighs. Thanks.
