Spicy honey bourbon chicken thighs
Bone-in chicken thighs get a quick sear then braise in this tangy-sweet sauce that's already built in. The sauce coats everything with minimal effort, leaving you time to make a side while the oven does the work.

To buy
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
From your shelf
- 1/2 cup [120 ml] spicy honey bourbon thick sauce
- 2 tablespoons [30 ml] spicy honey bourbon (Frank's Redhot)
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon [15 ml] oil
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Pat 4 chicken thighs dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. When the oil shimmers, place the thighs skin-side down and sear for 4 minutes until golden, then flip and sear another 2 minutes.
- Stir 1/2 cup spicy honey bourbon thick sauce and 2 tablespoons spicy honey bourbon together in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the chicken, turning the thighs to coat. Transfer the skillet to a 425°F [220°C] oven and bake for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F [74°C] at the thickest part of the thigh. Let rest for 2 minutes in the pan, then serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over it.
Note Swap bone-in breasts if you prefer, adding 5 minutes to the oven time. Leftovers keep for three days; shred the meat and fold into rice or a grain bowl. Serve alongside steamed broccoli or a simple green salad to balance the richness.
