Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes
Total: 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned.

  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken thighs and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

  7. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce in the baking dish and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens even more.

  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
