Oven Baked Sriracha Chicken
Oven baked Sriracha chicken is a mouthwatering dish made by marinating chicken in a spicy and flavorful sauce called Sriracha, then baking it in the oven until it's deliciously crispy and golden. The Sriracha sauce adds a tangy and spicy kick to the chicken, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a little heat in their meals.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts or thighs boneless skinless
- 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and black pepper , to taste
- green onions chopped for garnish (optional)
- sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, whisk together Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or spiciness to your preference.
- Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and black pepper, then place them in the baking dish.
- Pour the Sriracha sauce mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated evenly. You can use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread the sauce.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through. You can baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the chicken moist.
- Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added freshness and crunch, if desired.
- Serve the Oven Baked Sriracha Chicken with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a refreshing salad.
