Tender chicken thighs in a creamy, spicy sauce that balances heat with sweetness, perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken thighs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the thighs to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a bowl to create your sauce.
