One of my favorite chicken variations has been the honey sriracha chicken I made a few months ago. I try not to make it too often because the chicken is fried, making the dish quite unhealthy.

So I decided to try making a healthier version. I used boneless chicken thighs for the most flavorful meat and chose not to fry the chicken. I also made some tweaks to the sauce to make it a little healthier.

The new and improved version is only 292 calories per serving.

I liked this a lot, but Mr. K complained he missed the crunch of the fried chicken and how the sauce clung to the battered chicken better. Next time I’ll try making the battered crunchy chicken through baking.
