  • Cuisine: Asian Fusion

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce (adjust for spice preference)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and lime juice to make the marinade.
  2. Place chicken in a ziplock bag or bowl, pour half of the marinade over it, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours). Reserve the other half for basting.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (shaking off excess) and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
  4. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, letting it thicken into a glaze. Coat the chicken evenly.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes after glazing.
  • If using breasts, pound them to even thickness for even cooking.
  • Double the sauce if you prefer more glaze for rice or noodles.
