Sweet and Spicy Asian Chicken Savory Flavor Explosion

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup scallions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 0 Salt and pepper to taste
• 0 Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa for serving

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk together to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
4. Add the chicken thighs to the hot skillet in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, pour the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the thickened sauce to coat well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
7. Serve the Sweet and Spicy Asian Chicken over jasmine rice or quinoa, garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
