Awesome Honey Garlic Sriracha Chicken
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha (Asian Chile sauce)*
- 5 cloves garlic crushed (or 1 1/4 tablespoon minced garlic)
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 6 boneless chicken thighs with or without skin
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to season (If desired)
- Sliced green onions (or shallots in Australia), to serve
- Sesame seeds to serve
- Lime wedges to serve
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a shallow bowl, mix the honey, Sriracha, garlic, rice
wine vinegar, soy sauce and lime juice together until well combined. Spoon 4
tablespoons of marinade out of the bowl and reserve to use for later as a
dipping sauce. - Cover with plastic wrap and marinade chicken for a minimum
of 30 minutes to 2 hours (if time allows), in the refrigerator. - Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick pan or cast iron
skillet (or grill pan) over medium heat. Sear the chicken in two batches (I do
3 thighs per batch), on both sides along with any sauce leftover in the bowl,
until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle; the skin
is crisp and golden browned, and the underside is charred slightly (chicken
will char slightly due to the honey). Transfer chicken to a warm plate, tent
with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. - OPTION A: Add the reserved sauce to the hot pan to warm
through on medium heat, stirring occasionally while mixing all of the pan
juices through the sauce. - OPTION B: Do not add the sauce to the pan. Serve chicken
with remaining pan juices left over in the pan, and pour reserved sauce over
each chicken (this option ensures a slightly spicier end result). - Serve chicken immediately along with the sauce. Garnish with
sliced green onion, sesame seeds and lime wedges. Serve with steamed veggies,
over rice or noodles.
