Glazed Spicy Citrus Chicken

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts (or thighs)

1/4 cup orange juice

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tbsp honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade & Glaze:

In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Let it reduce for 8-10 minutes until thickened into a glaze consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Chicken:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).

Glaze the Chicken:

During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the glaze over the chicken, allowing it to caramelize.

Flip the chicken and glaze the other side. Continue to cook until the glaze is sticky and well adhered.

Serve:

Once the chicken is fully cooked and glazed, remove it from the skillet. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the glazed chicken with extra glaze as a dipping sauce on the side.

Pair it with rice, grilled veggies, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
