Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2In a bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
  3. 3Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a bowl and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  4. 4Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish. Reserve the marinade for later use.

  8. 8Return the chicken to the oven and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
