Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs about 4 to 5 ounces each
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
For the bang bang sauce
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
For garnish
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, honey, and sriracha until smooth.
  4. Coat each chicken thigh evenly with the sauce mixture, reserving a small portion for finishing.
  5. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the chicken and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Brush the remaining sauce over the chicken and broil for 2 minutes to create a lightly crisp finish.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
  10. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption.

Notes

For extra crispiness, place the chicken on a wire rack over the baking sheet so heat circulates evenly.
