Honey Sriracha Chicken


I got a little spicy in the kitchen today, meaning I do what I always do and add sriracha to a recipe. I'll even just put it on tortilla chips for a snack. I can't get enough of the stuff, its seriously addicting. For any tabasco lovers out there still feeling hesitant towards the asian chili sauce, do yourself a favor and get a bottle next time you go to the store. For those of us already addicted to it's charms, remember the scare a few months back of the plant being shut down in California? I went out and bought a few bottles just in case the prices sky rocketed. Oh naive little me. Anyway enjoy!



Ingredients:
  • 1lb chicken breast
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1/2 inch grated ginger
  • 1 heaping tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbs rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
Directions:
  1. In a small bowl mix together garlic, ginger, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, and water. Whisk until brown sugar is dissolved.
  2. Next add flour and mix well so there are no more flour clumps in the sauce.
  3. Take chicken and 1/2 of the mixture an marinade in a shallow pan or in a gallon plastic bag for 15-30 minutes. 
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook chicken for 30 minutes. Basting half way through with sauce in pan.
  5. While chicken is baking take the second half of the mixture and heat in a small pan until thickened into a glaze. When chicken is down spoon the glaze or the top.
  6. Top with green onion. Serve!
Eat up you spicy readers! Happy Eatings!
