This Sriracha Chicken is juicy, garlicky, and coated in a sticky, spicy-sweet glaze. Made with honey, soy sauce, and just enough Sriracha for heat, it’s pan-seared until golden in a skillet and perfect with rice.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs deboned but skin-on
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • white sesame seeds optional

Sriracha Marinade:

  • tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • 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.
