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.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Dish

The Medium Shallow Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 (225g) chicken thighs, bone-in skin-on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon harissa
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Preparation

  1. 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).
  2. Cook in the microwave at Power Level 6tooltip for 9-10 mins, or until chicken is cooked most of the way through. 
  3. Once ready, transfer the chicken thighs to a baking tray lined with aluminum foil.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat your broiler.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. Spoon extra sauce over chicken to serve.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • 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.
