- Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season the thighs with a pinch of salt on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, sriracha sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Stir well until fully combined. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to bloom.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, pouring the sauce over the top. Toss the chicken in the sauce, coating it evenly. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
