We’re suckers for sweet and spicy chicken, especially when it’s quick and easy to make. This main dish is worthy of weekend dinner parties and a weeknight meal alike.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

Ingredients
- 2 (225g) chicken thighs, bone-in skin-on
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey

Preparation
- Place the chicken In an Anyday dish and pierce the surface with a fork. Coat chicken thighs with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave at Power Level 6✕
Certain foods cook best in the microwave at lower power levels.
[[video-power]]
Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.
For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.
Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:
PL 10 = 100% = High (default)
PL 9 = 90% = High
PL 8 = 80% = Med-High
PL 7 = 70% = Med-High
PL 6 = 60% = Medium
PL 5 = 50% = Medium
PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low
PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low
PL 2 = 20% = Low
PL 1 = 10% = Low
You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
- Once ready, transfer the chicken thighs to a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
- Meanwhile, preheat your broiler.
- In the same Anyday dish you cooked the chicken in, add honey, harissa, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch to the juices from the chicken and stir to combine. Cook in the microwave uncovered for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the sauce is ready, brush chicken thighs with it and place under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes, or until browned. Keep an eye on it, since it will go fast!
- Spoon extra sauce over chicken to serve.
Suggestions
- Garnish with lime and chopped cilantro if desired.
- Serve with rice, pasta, or beans.
- Enjoy with flatbread or even tortillas for a delicious wrap or taco filling.
Recipe Notes
- Piercing the surface of the chicken will reduce the chances of loud popping sounds as the steam escapes the chicken while it cooks.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
