Cast-Iron Sriracha Chicken Thighs with Vegetables

Description

This is a one-skillet Sriracha chicken dish. I like the concept of one-skillet dishes because it cuts down on time and the flavors seem to meld together well.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup Sriracha
  • 2 medium limes, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ½ medium red onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into desired length
  • 4 small potatoes, cubed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup Sriracha
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 stalk green onion, chopped, or more to taste

  15. cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken
  16. skin-side down
  17. and sear until golden brown
  18. 4 to 5 minutes; this will melt out most of the fat underneath and leave a nice
  19. crispy skin. Flip over and grill for 2 more minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
  20. Drain extra fat and oil from the skillet. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Add onion and garlic to the melted butter and cook

  38. skin-side up. Pour Sriracha mixture primarily onto the chicken
  39. and a bit onto the vegetables.
  40. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast until potatoes are tender and chicken is completely cooked through
  41. 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
