    Ginger Chicken Pin

    The warmth of ginger truly gives this dish a zesty kick and the garlic provides that nutty sweetness. I am in love with the combination of ginger and garlic with a hint of sesame.

    There is nothing better than these ginger chicken thighs, braised in a soy and white wine sauce that adds a bit of elegance to an already amazing recipe.

    What is Braised Ginger Chicken?

    Braised ginger chicken is a method of cooking where you first lightly fry the chicken and then simmer it in a sauce. Braising concentrates and enhances the liquid flavour and tenderizes the meat. It's typically a low temperature method of cooking in the oven.

    What does ginger chicken taste like?

    Ginger chicken tastes slightly peppery and sweet, with a pungent and spicy aroma. Similar to garlic it loses it's pungency while cooking and maintains it's warmth flavour.

    Ginger Chicken Recipe Ingredients

    Ginger and Garlic - for that spicy and warmth feeling that you simply cannot get from any other ingredients

    Erythritol - gives it that little extra sweetness without the sugar spikes especially for people with diabetes

    Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos - for that umami sweet taste with a hint of bitterness that add to the salty flavours

    How to prepare ginger chicken thighs?

    For this recipe you will need an oven safe skillet where you can first fry the chicken thighs skin side down.

    After frying is complete, the chicken is removed so we can layer in the flavours with the ginger, garlic, soy and white wine. We then let that reduce and place the chicken back into the skillet and bake the thighs in the oven.

    Once out of the oven we remove the chicken once again to allow the sauce to reduce and get nice and syrupy.

    Lastly we place the chicken back into the skillet and smother with the sauce, top if off with some toasted sesame oil and seeds and garnish with some green onions.

    How many carbs in Ginger Chicken?

    Only 4g net carbs per chicken thigh

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    Yes, this can be made ahead of time. I made it around mid afternoon and let it rest in the oven covered until dinner time.

    I reheated them at 350 for 10 minutes. Careful not to heat it too long as they will become dry. You may want to baste with the sauce a couple of times if you plan to enjoy them much later.
