Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs about 1 kg
  • 1/4 teaspoon white sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon scallion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt to make the marinade.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and transfer the chicken and all marinade onto it. Cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink and juices run clear).
  • Remove the foil, spoon the pan juices over the chicken, then broil for about 1 minute to char the surface; watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove from the oven, slice the chicken if desired, and garnish with white sesame seeds and chopped scallion before serving.
