Faster than takeout, this sweet and spicy Sriracha chicken is more flavorful, too.
By Claudia Willner
Honey sriracha chicken has the perfect balance between sweetness and spiciness! The great part is you can easily adjust the flavor or spiciness to your preference. If you like it hot like me go heavy on the sriracha and even add some chili or red pepper flakes. If you are more on the mild, sweet side favor the honey.
Rice goes really great with it. But for my preference I choose some vermicelli noodles and lots of veggies.
If you love sriracha sauce you can even sprinkle some over the top at the end!
