Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 2-3 tbsp water
  • 8-10 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil more if needed for batch cooking
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic 

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, mirin, sriracha, and 2 to 3 tbsp of water. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper before lightly coating with the flour.
  3. Add olive oil to a large cast iron over medium heat, and slowly add in the chicken thighs, smooth side down and then cook for 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for 6 to 7 minutes, or until cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in two batches if necessary.
  4. Add in the butter and garlic to the pan alongside the chicken and let the butter melt.
  5. Pour the spicy honey mixture over top of the chicken and allow the mixture to bubble. In less than 5 minutes, the spicy honey garlic sauce should have thickened enough to coat the chicken. Spoon the sauce over the chicken before serving.
