Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 1 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp sriracha, and 1 tbsp soy sauce until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Step 4: Flip chicken, pour honey-sriracha glaze over top, and transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
  5. Step 5: While chicken bakes, toss 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Divide 2 cups cooked rice between bowls, top with roasted vegetables, then place glazed chicken thighs on top. Drizzle with any remaining pan sauce.

How do I store leftover Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken Bowls with Crispy Veggies?

Can I substitute ingredients in Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken Bowls with Crispy Veggies?

How do I scale Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken Bowls with Crispy Veggies for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
