What can I serve with Honey chili garlic sauce Chicken Thighs?

Honey chili garlic sauce Chicken Thighs pair beautifully with fluffy white rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh, crisp salad. They also make a great protein-packed addition to bowls, wraps, or tacos.

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Absolutely! While chicken thighs are the star of this recipe, you can easily swap in boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time, as chicken breasts tend to cook faster than thighs.

How can I make this recipe even spicier?

For an extra kick of heat, stir in a teaspoon or two of your favorite hot sauce, such as Sriracha or chili-garlic sauce, to the honey glaze. You can also sprinkle on some red pepper flakes or chopped fresh chilies for a fiery finish.

Can I make this recipe in advance?

Absolutely! The honey chili garlic sauce can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in the fridge until you're ready to cook the chicken. This makes for an even quicker and easier weeknight meal.

How can I ensure the chicken stays juicy and tender?

The key to juicy, tender chicken thighs is to avoid overcooking them. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, and be sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in all those delicious juices.
