Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs about 6; either with or without skin is fine
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or to taste
- 3 to 5 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
- green onions sliced into thin rounds for garnishing
- sesame seeds optional for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- To a large oven-proof skillet, add the oil and chicken with the skin down (or the side down where the skin would have been if you're using skinless), and evenly season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is golden browned, about 7 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, to a small bowl, add the honey, sriracha, garlic, optional cayenne, and stir to combine.
- Flip chicken over and evenly spoon the honey mixture over the browned side of all chicken pieces.
- Place skillet in oven and bake for about 16 to 22 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and done (165F). Exact cooking time will vary on the size of the pieces and exactly how browned/done they were going into the oven.
- Garnish with green onions, optional sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Chicken will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
