Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Notes

Swapping chicken breast for thighs will provide a juicier option. Consider using tamari for a gluten-free version. Adjust the sriracha according to your spice preference. Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days. Freshly grated ginger enhances flavor.
