Garlic Sriracha Chicken
Description
This recipe starts with marinating the chicken thighs with a flavorful blend including minced garlic, soy sauce, honey for sweetness, sriracha for heat, sugar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. The short 15-minute marinating time imparts immediate flavor without lengthy preparation. The chicken is placed on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet, covered to avoid burning, and baked at 400°F until thoroughly cooked.
Finishing with a one-minute broil adds caramelization and slight charring on the surface, enhancing flavor and texture contrasts. The dish is garnished with white sesame seeds and chopped scallions for freshness and a subtle nutty note.
Garlic Sriracha Chicken can be served immediately, providing a balanced spicy, sweet, and savory chicken option suitable for a main course. The baked preparation simplifies cooking without frying or grilling.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (1kg) chicken thighs skinless and boneless
- 1/4 teaspoon white sesame
- 1 tablespoon scallion chopped
Marinade:
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 3 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Rinse the chicken thighs with water and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the marinade ingredients and marinate for 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken and all the garlic Sriracha marinade to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the foil, spoon the drippings over the chicken, and broil it for 1 minute to char the surface. Remove from heat, slice into pieces, garnish with white sesame seeds and scallions, and serve immediately.
