Here’s a detailed recipe for Sriracha Honey Glazed Chicken:
Sriracha Honey Glazed Chicken
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust based on your spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated.
- Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Skillet:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade used for marinating).
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- Glaze the Chicken:
- Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken in the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to thicken and coat the chicken.
- Serve:
- Transfer the chicken to a serving plate.
- Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the chicken.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
- Enjoy!
- Serve the Sriracha Honey Glazed Chicken with rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Tips:
- Grilling Option: This recipe also works well on the grill. Just marinate the chicken as directed, then grill over medium heat, basting with the remaining marinade for the last few minutes of cooking.
- Adjust Spice Level: You can adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your heat preference. For a milder version, use less Sriracha and balance with more honey.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
