  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup green onions (chopped, for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

Preparing Sweet Spicy Sticky Chicken is simple. Just follow these steps to create a dish that bursts with flavor:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
4. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Reserve the marinade for later.
5. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and brush with the reserved marinade.
6. Caramelize the Glaze: Return the chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is sticky and bubbling.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, take the chicken out of the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish without any hassle.
