Ingredients
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha Asian Chili sauce
- 5 cloves garlic crushed, or 1 ¼ tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
- 6 boneless chicken thighs with or without skin
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 pinch salt to season, if desired
- 1 pinch pepper to season
- 1 pinch green onions or shallots in Australia, sliced to serve
- 1 pinch sesame seeds to serve
- 2 Lime wedges to serve
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix the honey, Sriracha, garlic, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and lime juice together until well combined. Spoon 4 tablespoons of marinade out of the bowl and reserve to use for later as a dipping sauce.
- Cover with plastic wrap and marinade chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes to 2 hours (if time allows), in the refrigerator.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick pan or cast iron skillet (or grill pan) over medium heat. Sear the chicken in two batches (I do 3 thighs per batch), on both sides along with any sauce leftover in the bowl, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle; the skin is crisp and golden browned, and the underside is charred slightly (chicken will char slightly due to the honey). Transfer chicken to a warm plate, tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
- OPTION A: Add the reserved sauce to the hot pan to warm through on medium heat, stirring occasionally while mixing all of the pan juices through the sauce.
- OPTION B: Do not add the sauce to the pan. Serve chicken with remaining pan juices left over in the pan, and pour reserved sauce over each chicken (this option ensures a slightly spicier end result).
- Serve chicken immediately along with the sauce. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds and lime wedges. Serve with steamed veggies, over rice or noodles.

Notes
- *Add more if you like it really spicy (about 4 tablespoons); or less for a milder sauce (about 1 tablespoon)
