For the Marinade
  • 3 cloves Garlic Freshly minced to impart robust flavor; essential in the marinade.
  • 1 small Onion Finely chopped to add depth and sweetness to the sauce.
  • 1/3 cup Honey Provides a sweet contrast that balances the marinade's heat; a key ingredient.
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce A must for umami and saltiness, enriching the overall taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha Adds a kick of heat; adjust according to your preference for spice.
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth Enhances the marinade and keeps the chicken moist while baking.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Basic seasonings to enhance the flavors of the dish.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Basic seasonings to enhance the flavors of the dish.
For Serving

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together minced garlic, finely chopped onion, honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, salt, pepper, and chicken broth until well combined.
  2. Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into the casserole dish, making sure they are evenly coated with the marinade.
  3. While the chicken is marinating, rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water, bringing it to a gentle boil.
  4. Prepare the broccolini by trimming the ends and placing it in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for approximately 5 minutes.
  5. As the chicken nears the end of its marination time, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Remove the dish from the fridge and uncover the marinated chicken thighs. Bake them for about 20 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the chicken over rice, alongside the steamed broccolini.
