Sticky Dragon Fire Chicken

Ingredients:

- 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless 🍗

- 1/4 cup soy sauce 🍶

- 1/4 cup honey 🍯

- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce 🌶️

- 2 tbsp rice vinegar 🍚

- 3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄

- 1 inch ginger, grated 🥢

- 1 tbsp sesame oil 🌰

- 1/2 tsp black pepper 🧂

- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish) 🌿

- Sesame seeds (for garnish) 🌱

Directions:

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor. 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet, pouring any remaining marinade over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized, basting with the sauce halfway through. 

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy the sticky, spicy goodness of this Dragon Fire Chicken!
