Ingredients
Scale
This recipe is all about using simple ingredients to create something extraordinary. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
If you’re out of sweet chili sauce, a mix of honey and a dash of vinegar works in a pinch. And for those avoiding mayo, Greek yogurt makes a great substitute!
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:
- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Remember, the key here is not to rush the browning step. That golden crust is where the magic happens!
