Honey Sriracha Chicken

Oh dear. I realized I have been quite the slacker on these recipes :( so sorry!

Tonight, I tried out this recipe. It was pretty good.  Next time, I will marinate it waaay longer that what it says.  The glaze helps a lot with the flavor though.

Honey Sriracha Chicken
adapted from Budget Bytes

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs 

• 2 cloves garlic  

• 2 Tbsp sriracha hot sauce

• 1½ Tbsp soy sauce 

• 1 Tbsp rice vinegar 

• 2 Tbsp honey 

• 2 Tbsp brown sugar 

• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 

• ½ cup water 

• 2 Tbsp corn starch 

Instructions

Mince the garlic. Mix in the sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and water.  Add corn starch and stir until dissolved.Add the chicken thighs to a large zip top bag. Add half of the marinade to the chicken and toss to coat.  Marinate for at least a few hours. Save the other half of the marinade for later.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken and marinade in an 8×8 inch casserole dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.  Flip chicken half way through.

While the chicken is baking, add the other half of the marinade to a small sauce pot. Bring it up to a simmer over medium heat while stirring. As soon as it reaches a simmer it will thicken into a nice glaze. Set the sauce aside.

When the chicken is finished baking, spread the thickened sauce over each piece of chicken.
