Ingredients
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 2 tablespoons Sriracha (Asian Chile sauce)*
    • 5 cloves garlic crushed (or 1 1/4 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 6 boneless chicken thighs with or without skin
    • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
    • Salt and pepper to season (If desired)
    • Sliced green onions (or shallots in Australia), to serve
    • Sesame seeds to serve
    • Lime wedges to serve
    Instructions
    1. In a shallow bowl, mix the honey, Sriracha, garlic, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and lime juice together until well combined. Spoon 4 tablespoons of marinade out of the bowl and reserve to use for later as a dipping sauce.
    2. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes to 2 hours (if time allows), in the refrigerator.
    3. Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a nonstick pan or cast iron skillet (or grill pan) over medium heat. Sear the chicken in two batches (I do 3 thighs per batch), on both sides along with any sauce leftover in the bowl, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle; the skin is crisp and golden browned, and the underside is charred slightly (chicken will char slightly due to the honey). Transfer chicken to a warm plate, tent with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
    4. OPTION A: Add the reserved sauce to the hot pan to warm through on medium heat, stirring occasionally while mixing all of the pan juices through the sauce.
    5. OPTION B: Do not add the sauce to the pan. Serve chicken with remaining pan juices left over in the pan, and pour reserved sauce over each chicken (this option ensures a slightly spicier end result).
    6. Serve chicken immediately along with the sauce. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds and lime wedges. Serve with steamed veggies, over rice or noodles.
