Garlic Sriracha Chicken
Garlic and Sriracha are two ingredients that produce amazing results when it comes to chicken, just like this delicious, moist and juicy oven baked Garlic Sriracha Chicken.
This chicken is packed with so much flavors: garlicky, spicy, sweet and savory I assure you it will be an instant hit.
This chicken recipe takes an active time of practically 10 minutes and the rest is marinade time and oven baking time.
For the best results, use boneless and skinless chicken thighs but you can certainly use chicken breast or even chicken drumsticks.
To get the nice char on the chicken, broil it in the oven.
All oven has a different broil function so make sure you don’t burn it.
I usually just sit in front of my oven watching the food when I use the broiling function.
Slice up the chicken into pieces like the photos. Serve them with steamed rice or noodles. This Asian-flavored chicken is crazy delicious. Make it for dinner tonight!

Garlic Sriracha Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. skinless and boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 teaspoon white sesame
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
Marinade:
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Rinse the chicken thighs with water. Pat dry with paper towels. Mix all the ingredients in the Marinade. Stir to combine well.
- Combine the chicken thighs with the Marinade and marinate for 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken and all the garlic Sriracha marinade to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, or until cooked. Remove the foil, spoon the dripping over the chicken and broil the chicken for 1 minute to char the surface of the chicken. Remove from heat, sliced into pieces, garnish with the white sesame, scallions and serve immediately.

This could have been an even better recipe in my humble opinion if it had been suggested, to heat the left-over marinade to a boil, and pour on top when serving. Has a very nice taste!
Hi Frank, I used all my marinade when baking the chicken, so you don’t have to boil.
Thank you for this recipe it looks delicious. Iam going to purchase some Sriracha today so I can make it. What veg would you recommend to serve with it??
Hi Gina, I love the ginger soy bok choy or brown butter garlic honey carrots or roasted potatoes. :) You can check out all my side dishes here: https://rasamalaysia.com/tag/side-dish

Hi Denise so happy that you got to try this garlic sriracha chicken recipe.
I made this tonight and it was delicious! I will be making it again. After broiling my chicken still did not have the dark charred look and was much lighte in color so I’m wondering if I should have pored more marinade over it before baking….
Hi Carmen, yes, pour all the marinate over the chicken before baking. And depending on the broil function, you might need to broil longer. Thanks for trying the garlic Sriracha chicken recipe.
Too bad there is NO recipe here – it looks good
Hi Susan, the recipe is where the red bar is “RECIPE HERE.”
Hi Rasa

Are you sure the calorie and fat numbers are correct? Would the numbers be slashed by using chicken breasts?
Hi Susan, sorry I have replaced the nutrition label. It was wrong. It’s 117 calories. :)
