Tender, smoky chicken thighs glazed with a sticky, sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce, perfect for quick and easy BBQs or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • Ground black pepper, freshly cracked
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season lightly with ground black pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until smooth and glossy.
  3. Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze for basting. Pour the rest over the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). Oil the grates well to avoid sticking.
  5. Place chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 7-8 minutes until skin is charred and crispy. Flip and brush with reserved glaze. Grill an additional 7-10 minutes, basting every few minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and glaze caramelizes.
  6. Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating for crispy skin. Baste glaze in last 10 minutes to avoid burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F. Rest chicken 5 minutes before serving to lock in juices. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. If no grill, bake at 425°F for 25-30 minutes and broil 3-5 minutes to caramelize glaze.
