Honey Sriracha Chicken – crazy delicious chicken with honey sriracha marinade. Make it on a skillet, bake or grill for dinner tonight.
When it comes to making delicious Asian recipes, it’s all about the perfect balance of flavors: sweet, spicy, salty and sour.
Not all components need to present in a dish, but when it does, you’ve got the most amazing tasting food ever.
This honey sriracha chicken fits the perfect bill. It’s sticky sweet, spicy, salty, with a tint of sour. The chicken is extremely moist, juicy, delicious, bursting with bold flavors and absolutely addictive.
I found myself scraping off the sticky sauce on my skillet after I finished all the chicken. Just look at the pictures, you can’t blame me for doing that!
The best thing of all is the simplicity of the recipe. It takes 6 ingredients, nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken, honey, Sriracha, vinegar, garlic, and salt, which you already have in your fridge or pantry.
For the chicken, you can use chicken breast, thighs, drumsticks or wings. Make it for dinner tonight!

Looking forward to trying this honey Sriracha chicken dish… Not familiar with Suraci sauce… Is this an item I can purchase in any grocery store? I have vision that is compromised and ask a friend to gather items for me at the grocery store… If we’re unable to locate Suraci sauce, is there a substitution I can use? I have all the other items and am eager to try Your recipe… It sounds scrumptious… Thanks and appreciate any assistance and help in perhaps using a substitute for the Suraci sauce…
Hi, I do understand that Sriracha is not easy to find. You can substitute it with Cholula or other hot sauce. Even Thai chili sauce is acceptable.
