Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture for glazing later. Place the chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight to intensify the flavors.

    Preheat Cooking Appliance: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C) so that it is ready for cooking the chicken.

      Cook the Chicken: Once marinated, remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade from the bag or dish.

        - Grilling Method: Place the chicken directly onto the grill grates and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, basting with the reserved marinade during the last couple of minutes for extra flavor.

          - Baking Method: Position the chicken in a greased baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade halfway through the cooking time.

            Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Once cooked thoroughly, remove the chicken from the grill or oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain its juicy tenderness.

              Plate and Garnish: Slice the rested chicken into strips and drizzle any additional glaze over the top. For garnishing, sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds on the chicken. Serve alongside your choice of sides, such as fluffy steamed rice or vibrant sautéed vegetables, to complete the dish.
