Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

To make the sauce, whisk together honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger, Sriracha, sesame oil, cornstarch, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and sear both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Stir in honey mixture.

Step 4

Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 175 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.

Step 5

Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Chef’s notes

The chicken turns out wonderfully crisp and tender, packed with a sweet-savory goodness – the perfect flavor combination.

It goes beautifully over a bowl of rice, especially when you mix in the leftover sauce.
