A quick and easy grilled chicken thigh recipe featuring a perfect balance of sweet honey and spicy sriracha with irresistibly crispy skin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 pounds or 900 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and set aside for 10 minutes to air dry if possible.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, toss to coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill and cook without moving for 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Flip the chicken and grill for another 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Dry the chicken skin thoroughly before marinating to ensure crispiness. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the honey. Flip the chicken only once to keep the skin intact. Let the chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy. For indoor cooking, use a grill pan or oven broil to mimic grilling.
