Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs Trim excess fat before cooking
- 0.5 cup honey For sweetness
- 0.25 cup soy sauce Use low sodium if preferred
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce Adjust based on spice tolerance
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar Adds a nice tang
- 2 cloves garlic Minced for better flavor
- 1 tbsp ginger Freshly minced works best
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil For cooking
- 2 green onions sliced For garnish
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds Optional, for extra crunch
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and absorb all that delicious sauce!
- In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces, making sure they're well-coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes to soak in those flavors.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, around 15 minutes.
- Once done, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your delightful Firecracker Chicken!
