Honey Sriracha Baked Chicken

Inspired by @Grendellily on Twitter. This was originally a slow-cooker dish. Her photo looked really good, but when asked for a recipe, she explained it was all to taste. Here's what I did.
When sampling the sauce, it seemed a bit spicy, but once baked on the chicken it is a tasty sweet heat that doesn't overpower.
Edit: On my second try, I decided to increase the honey to two tbsp and add 1/4 cup of apple juice which reduces the spiciness and allows cooking 8 thighs instead of 4.
I also decided to forego the broiler and put all eight thighs in a large covered pan simmering for 10 minutes, then flipping for another 10 to speed the process up.
Check for doneness then throw then under the broiler for a final 5 minutes to crisp things up.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the ingredients in a small bowl and let set.
- 2
Take 4 bone-in chicken thighs and bake in a conventional oven at 350° for 30 mins. Alternatively, I have a convection toaster oven and completed this step in 20 minutes.
- 3
Dunk the thighs in the sauce and coat all sides. Return the chicken to the broiler for another 10 minutes.
- 4
Plate and garnish with chives or parsley.
I added sides of Baked Beans and Garlic Parmesean bread sticks. It would also work well with rice and steamed broccoli.

I wanted to make a honey-based glaze.Let the chicken marinate for at least 3 hours. If you marinate it in the morning and cook it in the evening, it'll be just right! Make sure you have plenty of hand wipes around when you serve these. I tried using umeshu (plum wine) when I was out of sake and it turned out great. Recipe by Pami cookpad.japan -

Sweet and spicy baked chicken Sweet and spicy baked chicken
I love sweet and spicy things and use brown sugar often when cooking to add a little sweetness. I kinda threw this together one night. As a single woman to a little girl, I dread coming home to cook for hours but also don't want to eat frozen dinners. This recipe is super simple with few ingredients to give you more time with your loved ones. Me and my daughter love this chicken. I add more spice to mine bc I like it hot. On my daughter's I skip the Cayenne and replace it with Cajun seasoning and a dash of garlic. LaLa -
