Hot Honey Chicken Thighs

Ingrédients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespooons sriracha sauce
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 2.5 pounds)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 °C).

2. 2

   Wash and pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Place chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the spices and set aside.

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the honey, sriracha, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the sauce for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.

4. 4

   Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 7-10 minutes until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes on the other side.

5. 5

   Pour the hot honey butter sauce over the chicken thighs and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook the chicken in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.

6. 6

   During the last few minutes of oven cooking time, carefully drizzle some of the sauce from the skillet over the chicken with a large spoon, then turn on the oven broiler and broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes until the exterior is browned and caramelized. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and enjoy!
