Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and lime juice. Marinate the chicken in half of this mixture for 30 minutes to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Prepare the Glaze: Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining honey-sriracha mixture to the saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Let the glaze thicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Choose Your Cooking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), heat a skillet over medium-high heat, or preheat your grill to medium-high heat, depending on your preference.

Oven-Baked Method: Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Brush the chicken with the glaze halfway through baking and broil for the last 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.

Stovetop Method: In the heated skillet, sear the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Pour the glaze over the chicken, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.

Grilled Method: Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing with glaze as you cook. Before serving, brush with any remaining glaze for added flavor.

Extra Tips

When cooking Honey Sriracha Chicken, feel free to adjust the level of sriracha to suit your heat preference. For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight.

The dish can also be made in larger batches for meal prep, and leftovers can be easily reheated in the oven or on the stovetop for a quick meal throughout the week.
