Sweet And Spicy Chicken Recipe - A Flavorful Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.

    Make sure to taste the marinade and adjust the spiciness as desired.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Place chicken thighs in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over. Seal and shake to coat.

    Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for better flavor.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    A hot oven will help caramelize the sugars in the marinade.
  4. Bake the Chicken

    Place marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil.

    Ensure the chicken is spread out to cook evenly.
  5. Cooking Time

    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

    Baste the chicken with marinade halfway through for extra flavor.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions before serving.

    Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
