Sauce Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
Main Ingredients
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- Cooking spray (for skillet)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and sriracha. Set this flavorful sauce mixture aside for later use.
- Cook the chicken: Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), ensuring they are fully cooked.
- Simmer with sauce: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping the chicken thighs once or twice. This helps the sauce thicken slightly and thoroughly coat each piece of chicken.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chicken thighs, then serve warm. This dish goes perfectly with white rice and garnished with sliced green onions for added freshness.
Notes
- Ensure chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Sriracha sauce can be adjusted or omitted based on your spice tolerance.
- Use a non-stick skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
