- 4 chicken thighs deboned but skin-on
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon oil
- white sesame seeds optional
Sriracha Marinade:
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 pinch salt
Whisk the Sriracha Sauce together until well combined.
Add the garlic and Sriracha Sauce to the chicken, stirring to combine well. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add the oil. Transfer the chicken to the skillet and cook on both sides until golden brown and cooked through.
Add the remaining marinade to the skillet. Once it thickens, turn off the heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using), and serve the chicken immediately.
