Base Ingredients

Sweet & Spicy Sauce

Garnish

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.

Making the Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare Sweet & Spicy Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Sauce

    Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sweet & spicy sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and plate it. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet, then garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm with rice or your choice of side.
