Ingredients

6 tbsps honey
3 tbsps sriracha
3 tbsps rice vinegar
2 tbsps low-sodium soy sauce
5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp table salt
4 lbs chicken drumsticks and thighs

Optional Garnishes:

green onion, sliced
cilantro leaves, fresh
toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Whisk together honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt.
Add chicken to the marinade and toss well to coat.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but up to 12 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on the hot grill and immediately turn the temperature down to medium. Cover and cook until chicken is fully cooked, flipping once. (It should register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat not touching a bone. This usually takes about 10 minutes per side over medium heat with the grill closed.)
Remove chicken and serve!
