Description
Sweet Spicy Sticky Chicken is a flavorful dish that combines sweetness and heat for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust for spice)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice glaze.
- In a small saucepan, combine the remaining marinade with cornstarch and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until it thickens.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven. Brush the thickened sauce over the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve the Sweet Spicy Sticky Chicken hot, with rice or vegetables on the side.
Notes
- This recipe is customizable; adjust the sriracha for your preferred spice level.
