Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Marinade

  1. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top before serving.
