Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.5 tablespoons sriracha
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or avocado oil)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 pieces green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade and glaze.

Step 3

Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, pour the prepared marinade and bring it to a simmer on medium-low heat.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this mixture into the simmering marinade while stirring, allowing it to thicken. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them evenly in the thickened glaze. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top occasionally.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for a pop of color and added flavor.

Step 8

Serve Woohoo Chicken hot, alongside steamed rice or your favorite vegetables. Enjoy the zesty, savory goodness that will leave you saying 'Woohoo!'
