    Prep Time: 1 hour
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
    Servings: 6

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1/4 cup ketchup
    • 1/2 cup dark soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp sriracha
    • 1 tbsp sesame oil
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 tbsp avocado oil

    Instructions

    Marinade

    • Whisk together honey, ketchup, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and garlic. Reserve half of the marinade and set aside.
    • Add chicken thighs and half of the marinade to a large bowl, toss to coat and marinate for 1-2 hours.

    Pan

    • Heat oil in a large pan.
    • Add chicken thighs and cook on medium heat, for 3-5 minutes per side or until instant thermometer reads 150°F, then add in the reserved marinade and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes or until thermometer reads 165°F.
    • Remove from the pan and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing chicken thighs. Serve with extra sauce from the oan.

    Baked Version (bone in skin on)

    • Spray a 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray.
    • Remove chicken from the marinade and place on the prepared pan skin side up.
    • Place in the oven uncovered and bake for 35-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. (The chicken thighs will take longer to cook if they are on the larger size)
    • If you want a crispier skin turn the oven to broil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
    • Meanwhile while the chicken is cooking add the reserved marinade to a medium saucepan.
    • Bring it to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 5 minutes.
    • If sauce is not thick enough you can always add 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water.
    • When chicken comes out of the oven brush on the sauce and serve immediately.
