👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix honey, ketchup, olive oil, sesame seeds, soy sauce, lemon juice, Sriracha sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger in a bowl until well combined.

Add chicken pieces and toss to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Transfer chicken and sauce into an oven-proof dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Remove from oven and turn chicken pieces over.

Bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 more minutes.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
