How to make Honey Sriracha Chicken

Tips from the cook

  • Shake off the extra flour before frying, so it does not burn.
  • The thighs finish cooking in the sauce, so check they reach 74 °C inside.
  • Scrape up the browned bits as the garlic and butter cook, as they flavour the sauce.
  • Boil the bok choy for only 2 minutes, so it keeps its colour and bite.
