Ingredients
For the Marinade & Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Sriracha Sauce
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Thyme chopped, fresh
- 2 tbsp Butter melted, salted
For the Chicken:
- 1 lb Chicken Thighs boneless, skinless
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha sauce, maple syrup, garlic paste, thyme, and melted butter until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each thigh is coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
Sear the Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
Bake the Chicken
- Pour the remaining marinade over the seared chicken in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot, optionally with rice and your favorite vegetables.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before searing.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more to taste.
- If grilling, cook the chicken over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Basting frequently with the remaining marinade.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
