Ingredients
Method
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to help them brown properly in the skillet.
- In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Rub the seasoning mixture over both sides of the chicken thighs for full flavor coverage.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the chicken thighs in a single layer and cook undisturbed until a deep golden crust forms and the edges begin to crisp.
- Flip the chicken and reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning while the inside finishes cooking.
- Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and loosely cover to keep warm.
- In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the sauce into the same skillet and stir gently while scraping up the flavorful browned bits from the pan.
- Let the sauce simmer for a minute until glossy and slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken thighs to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece until fully coated.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.
