Baked Chicken Thigh with Kecap Manis
Another of my super easy recipe when I am super lazy to cook and just want to throw together enough ingredients to call it a recipe :D But, I hope this counts since it definitely tastes good even with just 5 ingredients! Chicken thighs, kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), tomato ketchup, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. So, do you think you have those in your pantry? For me, even when I am too lazy to do grocery, I probably will still have those in my pantry and probably a packet or two of chicken thighs/breasts sitting in the freezer. Let’s get cooking!

I'm sure we'll love this! Quick question: If I can't find the kecap manis in my local store, would it be okay to substitute regular soy sauce? Thanks!
Hi Sally, the easiest substitute would be 1 tablespoon soy sauce + 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar for the 2 tablespoon of kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce).
Ohhh, this sounds so good, love that these are baked and the sauce sounds perfect.
I so love Indonesian soy sauce - these look fantastic and can't wait to try them tonight~ Easy peasy!
I love that deep golden color on the chicken! Can't wait to try it.
