Method
 

Step-wise Instructions
  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and vegetable oil until well combined.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry and coat each thigh with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) and ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Cook Chicken: Grill the chicken thighs skin side down for 6 to 8 minutes until crispy, then flip and continue grilling until cooked through.
  5. Rest: Remove from grill and let chicken rest for about 5 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve the grilled chicken thighs warm with sides like steamed rice or tortillas.

Notes

Ensure the chicken skin is dried before marinating for the best crispy texture. Avoid overcrowding the grill for optimal grilling results.
