Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side up in a lightly oiled baking dish.
Mix the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until fully combined. Taste and adjust heat level as desired.
Glaze and Bake
Spoon half of the honey Sriracha glaze generously over the top of each chicken thigh. Reserve the remaining glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Re-Glaze and Finish Baking
Remove the chicken from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the top of each piece. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes until the skin is caramelized and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Rest and Serve
Let the chicken thighs rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onion. Serve over steamed jasmine rice with extra sauce spooned from the pan.
