Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken Thighs:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Bang Bang Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub to coat evenly.
  3. Bake the chicken: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the edges are golden and slightly crisp.
  4. Make the Bang Bang sauce: While the chicken bakes, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Finish the dish: Once the chicken is done, spoon or brush the Bang Bang sauce over the thighs while hot. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve over rice, noodles, or a bed of greens.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2–3 minutes after baking before saucing.
  • The Bang Bang sauce also works great as a dipping sauce for veggies or shrimp.
