Ingredients

  • 8 pieces of chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

MARINADE:

  • 2 tbsps. olive oil
  • 3 tbsps. sriracha sauce
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp. honey

  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup. cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Trim the chicken thighs from all excess fats.
  • Mix the marinade ingredients together and then add in the chicken to marinate for about 30 minutes if time permits.
  • Heat 1 tbsp. of live oil in a large skillet and then pan sear the chicken on each side for 5 minutes. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Save the extra marinade and pour over the chicken 5 minutes before you finish cooking them.
  • If you are using only the stove to cook the chicken, continue to pan sear the chicken on both sides, flipping ocassionaly and cook until full cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat/oven and cover to let it sit for 3-5 minutes until it cools down a little.

Notes

  • Make sure to trim the chicken thighs from all excess fats.
  • Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 mins.
  • Be sure to save the extra marinade and pour over the chicken 5 minutes before you finish cooking them.
  • Use a preheated oven.
  • Opt for freshly squeezed lemon juice, you can really taste the tangy difference!
  • If you are only using the stove to cook the chicken, continue to pan sear the chicken on both sides, flipping occasionally and cook until full cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165˚F on an instant read thermometer. 
  • Allow to cool down slightly before serving, this allows the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the chicken, making it super succulent.
