    Sweet and Spicy Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken

    I absolutely love all things sriracha — it is one of my favorite sauces and I tend to use it on everything! Really, though, I love anything spicy. If I’m not reaching for a glass of water it’s just not spicy enough for me. So when I needed to give my baked chicken recipe a spicy kick, I knew my sriracha sauce would be the perfect ingredient.

    This oven-baked chicken has just the right level of spice, balanced out with the added sweetness from honey. If you prefer more heat and less sweet, you can always add more sriracha or red pepper flakes. Need to cool it down? Just add a little more honey or low-sodium soy sauce.

    While I know ordering take-out is always an easy weeknight meal solution, I guarantee this recipe is simple enough to make in your own kitchen (and healthier, too). Plus, it takes less time than waiting for delivery! You will be eating these delicious, sweet and spicy chicken bites in less than 30 minutes. Whip up the sauce while the chicken is cooking in the oven, toss everything together and serve!

    • All purpose flour
    • Egg
    • Panko breadcrumbs

    • Water
    • Crushed red pepper flakes

    How to make Honey Sriracha Chicken

    This chicken is so easy to make! Start by breading your chicken with flour, bake in the oven for 15 minutes. While the chicken bakes work on the sauce, then toss with the cooked chicken and enjoy.

    Prep the Sriracha Sauce

    1. Combine oil and garlic: Add oil and garlic to a large saucepan. Cook for 1 minute.
    2. Add remaining ingredients: Whisk in soy sauce, honey, sriracha, water and crushed red pepper.
    stirring sriracha honey sauce in skillet with wooden spoon
    1. Cook: Cook sauce on high heat until it thickens, stirring constantly, approximately 2 minutes.
    2. Set aside: Keep on low heat until you are ready to toss with the chicken.

    Bake the Chicken

    1. Bread chicken: Begin with flour, egg, and then Panko breadcrumbs.

    What to serve with Honey Sriracha Chicken

    • Add a side of Pad Thai. I told you, no need for takeout! Load these delicious rice noodles up with your favorite veggies and fresh herbs — I always love to throw in bean sprouts, bell peppers, and carrots. This restaurant-quality Pad Thai will only add an extra 30 minutes to your cook time.
    • You can’t go wrong with a veggie stir-fry. Stir-fried veggies are always an excellent side dish and are super easy to make, too. You can use whatever is in your pantry and even add in some of the honey sriracha sauce for added flavor. Leave out the noodles to keep this dish low carb.
    • And my favorite, the Egg Roll in a Bowl! I’m a huge fan of “bowl” meals these days — rice bowls, smoothie bowls, cereal bowls — but this Egg Roll in a Bowl really does take the prize. It’s healthy, requires only one skillet, is gluten free, keto-friendly, and low carb. The best part? The leftovers are GREAT!
