Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha according to your taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
