Make Spicy Caramel-Glazed Chicken, the Dreamiest Weeknight Dinner

Tender thighs, crispy chicken skin, Coca-Cola, and spicy chipotle-ginger caramel sauce—all brilliant on their own, but why stop there?

Why not make something that is greater than the sum of its parts, like Tom Adams’ Caramel Chicken Thighs from tonight’s episode of Fuck That’s Delicious on VICELAND?

While on tour in London, Fuck, That’s Delicious host Action Bronson and our buddy Lee Tiernan visit Tom Adams over at Pitt Cue, where Tom prepares them a huge, meaty feast. But it’s these sweet and smoky chicken thighs that completely blow Action’s mind.

In fact, the dish evokes such strong feelings in Mr. Wonderful that he proclaims Tom to be a “pork and chicken freak” and “mad scientist”—high praise indeed.

And while there is ample sugar in here, chipotle, ginger, star anise, fennel, and coriander seeds cut right through all of that sweetness and make it a one-pot wonder with minimal prep or active time.

Throw some in the oven, and re-awaken your inner chicken freak from the safety of your home.
