Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust based on heat preference
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and minced garlic until smooth. Adjust heat or acidity according to your preference.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Lower heat and pour sauce over chicken, using a spoon to ensure each piece is well-coated. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to cling to the chicken.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat, let the chicken rest for a minute, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

To store leftovers, let chicken cool completely and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For deeper flavor, marinate chicken in sauce for a couple of hours ahead of time.
