Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and pour the honey sriracha marinade over the top, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken halfway through baking.
Serving

Notes

If you prefer less spiciness, reduce the amount of sriracha or add more honey. Store leftovers in an airtight container; refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
