Honey Sriracha Chicken – crazy delicious chicken with honey sriracha marinade. Make it on a skillet, bake or grill for dinner tonight.
When it comes to making delicious Asian recipes, it’s all about the perfect balance of flavors: sweet, spicy, salty and sour.
Not all components need to present in a dish, but when it does, you’ve got the most amazing tasting food ever.
This honey sriracha chicken fits the perfect bill. It’s sticky sweet, spicy, salty, with a tint of sour. The chicken is extremely moist, juicy, delicious, bursting with bold flavors and absolutely addictive.
I found myself scraping off the sticky sauce on my skillet after I finished all the chicken. Just look at the pictures, you can’t blame me for doing that!
The best thing of all is the simplicity of the recipe. It takes 6 ingredients, nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken, honey, Sriracha, vinegar, garlic, and salt, which you already have in your fridge or pantry.
For the chicken, you can use chicken breast, thighs, drumsticks or wings. Make it for dinner tonight!

Hi Melissa, thanks so much for trying my honey sriracha recipe. I am so glad you loved it. Yes please try more recipes. :)
Hello, what would be the best type of chicken to use for this recipe to get the best taste? I was gonna try legs and thighs skin on would that work or not? Thank you cant wait to try..
Hi Becky, yes, thighs boneless but skin on like I stated in my recipe.
I made this today, its so good! I baked it and it turned out perfect! If i wanna cook 8-12 thighs at the same time, do i double the cooking time? Or the same 20 minutes?
Should be same time just make sure they are in one single layer on a baking sheet. :)
