Description
A delicious and spicy Honey Sriracha Chicken recipe that combines sweet and heat for a bold flavor experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is caramelized and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the chicken garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add more Sriracha to the marinade or serve with extra on the side.
- You can also substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
