Ingredients

6 Boneless skinless Chicken Thighs about 2 pounds
4 cloves garlic minced
1/8 cup honey
2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2-3 tablespoon Sriracha
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 limes

Coconut Rice

1 (15 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk Full Fat
2 cups long grain rice I use Jasmine
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar optional

Instructions

Whisk honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and cilantro together until combined. Pour over chicken and marinade for at least 6 hours even better overnight.
Heat grill to medium-high heat, cook chicken over direct heat for 7-8 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for another 7-8 minutes or until juices run clear and no longer pink.
Let rest for 5 minutes, slice and squeeze fresh lime juice, and serve. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
For the coconut rice
In a medium saucepan add water, coconut milk, Jasmine rice, and salt. Mix until combined. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium/low cover and cook for 18-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Notes

Boneless or bone-in chicken thighs. You can use boneless skinless chicken breast if you prefer for this easy chicken recipe. You want to make sure the chicken breasts are even in thickness and just now the cooking time may change depending on the thickness.

**If you want the extra sauce to drizzle over cooked chicken. Make another batch of the marinade and mix in 1 teaspoon cornstarch. Simmer over medium heat just until thickened.

I use Jasmine but long grain rice is fine.

I like to use unsweetened coconut milk but sweetened can also be used.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
