INGREDIENTS
• 32 ounces 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, fat trimmed • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce • 2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar • 1 tablespoon honey • 3 cloves garlic, crushed • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger • 1 scallion, green only sliced for garnish

Meanwhile, place the remaining sauce in a small pot and cook over medium-low heat until it reduces slightly and thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. 8. To serve, drizzle the sauce over the chicken and top with scallions.
