Sriracha, lime and a little honey make a glaze that's hot, sharp and sweet in one go. Thighs roast in twenty minutes and stay juicy for days, which makes these the easiest lunch boxes in the rotation. Pack the crunchy toppings and the yogurt drizzle separately.

Squeeze the lime over right before eating for the brightest flavour.
