Honey Sriracha Chicken
This Honey Sriracha Chicken is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, and it's oh-so-easy to make. You only need a handful of ingredients, which come together in less than 30 minutes. The honey provides a nice balance of sweetness, and the sriracha adds a little kick. The flavors are bold and vibrant, and the chicken is incredibly juicy and tender. I love serving this with some white rice and steamed veggies. But it goes with so many different sides.
