Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs deboned but skin-on
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon oil

  1. Whisk the Sriracha sauce until well combined.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I often use boneless, skinless chicken breasts when I want a leaner meal, just remember to adjust your cooking time so they don't dry out.
The thighs really hold onto that lovely juiciness.
Make-
Ahead Tip: I've found that letting the chicken marinate overnight in the fridge truly deepens the flavors, making it so much more tender.
It's a lifesaver on busy weeknights.
