5 Secrets to 20 Minute Dinners!
Tips, tricks, and recipes for dinner in a hurry!
Chicken is back on the site, and this Hoisin Sriracha Chicken recipe is well worth the wait.
I haven’t been cooking much in the past few weeks due to traveling, but I am back with a series of chicken recipes that you will love.
This Asian-inspired chicken is marinated with Chinese Hoisin sauce and Thai Sriracha sauce.
If you haven’t discovered these two sauces, you have to stock up immediately.
Hoisin sauce is one of my favorite sauces; it’s savory, sweet, and perfect for just about any protein and as a dipping sauce.
Sriracha is the fiery hot sauce or Rooster sauce.
When you combine these two sauces together, with honey, soy sauce, ginger and garlic, you have the most delicious, sticky, sweet and savory chicken that you want to have every day.
Make it for dinner tonight!

Amazing. So flavorful and so easy! I make this once a week with a side of crispy asain brussel sprouts ? my hubby is always so excited when I tell him I’m making it. Thank you so much for such a staple recipe!!!

Ok so what I did is made bone in wings with this sauce. I made the marinade, put wings and marinade in zip lock bag and marinated 30 mins then put them on rack on cookie sheet baked 30 mins at 400 degrees. Meanwhile made a second batch of marinade and put that in the zip lock with other leftover marinade. Heated up the oil, put baked wings in Hot oil along with all the marinade and tossed them in pan until that marinade thickened on wings, only took couple mins. Definitely in the top 3 of my favorite wings. They were so good. I will be making these often!! Thank you for a great recipe!!

Hello. I would like to do this in the crockpot if possible. Do you think that might work fine? If so, any changes you would recommend?
You can try and let me know. I think it should be fine. Double the sauce.
I found that this didn’t create enough to actually marinade the chicken. Is it just supposed to sit on the TOP of the chicken?
It should be just enough to marinate the chicken. If not, double the marinade.
My chicken was frozen so I used pork from chops and it is delicious!! i didnt have any Hoison sauce so found a recipe to make it. Delicious. I will make this again next week using chicken thighs. YUM
Hi Jewel, thanks for trying this recipe.
This recipe was awesome! Very glad I doubled the marinade, it cooks down a lot! Reaaly flavorful dish, served with jasmine rice and broccoli!
Hi Crissy, awww, thanks for letting me know that you love my Hoisin Sriracha Chicken. Yes it’s very good.
How can I save your recipes and retrieve them for further use? Is there a recipe box?
HI Rasa. I made this previously and my family loves it! I want to serve this for company, so would love to make it the night before and reheat it. Have you done this and how was it? Thanks!
You can make it the night before and reheat but I don’t recommend. It’s best cooked fresh. The chicken might have a weird taste being overnight.
Made this tonight. My family loved it! I doubled the marinade and I am glad I did. It really reduces when it is cooked down. I used brown sugar instead of honey and it worked fine. Will definitely make again! Not really spivey- just flavorful.
Hi Lisa, great that you doubled the sauce. Good call! :)
Can I use chicken drumsticks for this recipe and bake it in the oven tonite?
Yes. You can.
