A quick and flavorful chicken thigh recipe with a sticky, sweet, tangy, and spicy glaze, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned.
  5. Pour the honey-lime mixture over the chicken.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, lime wedges, or jalapeños if desired.

Notes

  • This chicken is great served over rice, in tacos, or as part of a meal prep bowl.
  • Adjust sriracha amount for your desired spice level.
  • For a baked version, marinate chicken for 30 minutes, then bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, basting with the sauce halfway through.
