A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy, crispy chicken thighs glazed with a sticky-sweet and spicy honey sriracha marinade. Perfect for busy weeknights and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup honey (113g)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Optional veggies: bell peppers, broccoli florets, baby potatoes (washed and halved)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  3. Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  4. Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade until well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour if desired, or proceed immediately.
  5. Arrange the chicken skin-side up on a large rimmed sheet pan, spaced evenly.
  6. If using veggies, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange around the chicken on the sheet pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crisp. Veggies should be tender and caramelized.
  8. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  10. Serve warm with pan drippings spooned over the top and your choice of sides.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for crispy skin. Bake at high heat (425°F) for caramelization. Watch broiler carefully to avoid burning honey glaze. Marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour for best flavor but avoid overnight marinating to prevent meat breakdown. Use boneless thighs to reduce cooking time by 5-8 minutes. Line sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
