Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon fresh pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • optional 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a glass container or ziplock bag, mix together coconut milk, ground ginger, fresh pepper and red pepper flakes. Make sure the coconut milk is mostly broken up and liquid.
  • Add chicken thighs and make sure the chicken is completely coated.
  • Let marinate in the fridge for about least 4 hours. Mix the chicken around a few times during that 4 hours to make sure things stay coated nicely.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place chicken on a broiler pan or a baking rack with a catch tray underneath.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked.

Sticky Sauce

  • About 15 minutes before the chicken is done, add rice vinegar, sweetener, coconut aminos and red pepper flakes to a large saucepan.
  • (optional) if you want the sauce thicker, add the xanthan gum.
  • Stir often for about 15 minutes as the sauce thickens.
  • Once chicken and sauce are done, place chicken in a platter with an edge and pour the sauce over chicken.
