Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful chicken dish featuring a sticky glaze of honey, lime, and sriracha that balances sweet, tangy, and spicy notes perfectly. Ideal for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • Juice of 2 fresh limes (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped cilantro or green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour about two-thirds of the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side without moving them.
  5. Flip chicken and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Lower heat to medium-low, pour reserved sauce over chicken, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, spooning glaze over chicken until sauce thickens and clings to the meat.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before cooking to ensure better browning and avoid watery sauce. Adjust sriracha to control spice level. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. If sauce thickens too quickly or burns, add a splash of water or chicken broth to loosen it. Let chicken rest a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
