Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon sriracha, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 8-10 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for 5 more minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour the soy-honey sauce mixture over chicken, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 4 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken occasionally until it thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Stir into the skillet and cook for 1 minute until sauce coats the back of a spoon and becomes glossy.
  6. Step 6: Remove chicken from skillet, discard any excess fat, and serve immediately with extra sauce drizzled on top.
