If you don't like spicy foods, you can add more honey and less sriracha. +Conversely, if you like spicy foods, consider a 1:1 ratio of sriracha and honey. + +- ⏲️ Prep time: 5 min +- 🍳 Cook time: 40-45 min +- 🍽️ Servings: 4 + +## Ingredients + +* 5-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs +* 1 tablespoon olive oil +* 1/3 cup honey +* 2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce +* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt +* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper +* Sesame seeds as a garnish (optional) + +## Directions + +1. Preheat oven to 350°F +2. Season the chicken. Rub the thighs with some olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. +3. Place the chicken thighs in a cold skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 15 minutes on medium-low heat without touching them. +4. Prepare Sriracha sauce by stirring honey and sriracha together in a bowl. +5. Flip the chicken thighs. Cook for another 10 minutes. +6. Place chicken thighs on baking tray (or just use skillet if using a cast-iron skillet). Drizzle the sriracha sauce on both sides of the chicken, coating it. You do not have to use all of it. +7. Bake chicken thighs for 15 minutes. +8. Test chicken for doneness. Chicken should reach internal temperature of 165°F. +9. If chicken is near done (or done), you can baste a second time with the remaining sauce (you can make more sauce if you need) and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Do not worry about overcooking; chicken thighs are difficult to overcook. +10. When chicken is done, let cool for a few minutes and garnish with sesame seeds before serving. diff --git a/static/pix/honey-sriracha-chicken-thighs.webp b/static/pix/honey-sriracha-chicken-thighs.webp new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d03977c Binary files /dev/null and b/static/pix/honey-sriracha-chicken-thighs.webp differ
