Instructions
Instructions
In a small bowl combine: salt, cumin, pepper, ginger and chili powder. Rub seasoning onto chicken thighs. In a medium bowl or measuring glass mix together: molasses, pomegranate juice, honey, vinegar and lemon. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large (cast iron) skillet over medium heat. Add chicken to skillet (in 2 batches if needed to not over-crowd the pan) and cook until golden brown and cooked through*, about 4-6 minutes per side. Remove chicken.
Transfer chicken thighs, skin side up, to the foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 210° C / 350 F for about 20 minutes or until chicken thighs are completely cooked through and no longer pink in the centre.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Add garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the molasses mixture and bring to a rapid simmer. Add in the cornstarch/water mixture and whisk to fully incorporate.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until thickened.
Add the chicken back to the skillet and turn to coat in the sauce.
To serve: Garnish with parsley, pomegranate arils and slices of lemon. Serve and enjoy!
