Description
A delightful explosion of flavors combining sweet and spicy elements with savory chicken and zesty sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or your favorite hot sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
- Optional: Chopped peanuts for topping
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken thighs, coat well, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Sear the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil, then sear the marinated chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Create the sauce: Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm. Pour leftover marinade into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine and serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, coat in the sauce until well-glazed, and cook for an additional minute.
- Garnish: Serve with fresh cilantro and peanuts if desired.
Notes
Optional to adjust spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha. Marinating longer can intensify flavors.
