Ingredients
  

Main Protein
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Trim excess fat for juiciness and tenderness.
Seasoning/Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances natural flavors; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Use freshly cracked for best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds color and smokiness; use sparingly.
Liquids/Dairy

  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce For sweetness and tang; adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce Add heat; adjust according to spice preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cooking
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  3. While the chicken cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and honey in a bowl.
  4. Once fully cooked, drizzle the sauce over the chicken thighs on a cutting board and coat them well.
  5. Garnish with sliced green onions right before serving.

Notes

Experiment with adding garlic or ginger for enhanced flavors. Serve with pickled vegetables for extra crunch.
