Grilled Honey Sriracha Chicken Thighs Recipe
Grilled Honey Sriracha Chicken Thighs Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger (if using). Taste and adjust the heat by adding more sriracha if you like it spicier. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
-
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). If using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
-
Grill the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the skin is golden brown and slightly charred.
-
Baste with Marinade:
- During the last few minutes of grilling, you can brush the chicken thighs with additional marinade for extra flavor (make sure to discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw chicken).
-
Serve:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the honey sriracha chicken thighs with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- You can drizzle some extra sriracha sauce on top if you love a little extra heat.
This grilled honey sriracha chicken is sweet, spicy, and savory — a perfect balance of flavors for your next BBQ or dinner! 🌶🍯
