Quick Sriracha Chicken – a perfect meal for those who like the heat and on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Sriracha is one of those things you love or hate. If you don’t love spicy food you are not going to like Sriracha. It is basically a hot red chilli sauce.

Here on this side of the Atlantic, we are pretty obsessed with, Sriracha is used almost as commonly as ketchup and it sure adds a kick to food if you like spicy.

I’ve been know to drizzle Sriracha over some perfectly cooked eggs, be them fried or scrambled, if you haven’t tried it then you really must.

Today was a hectic day, my daughter had a planned playdate which involved lots of fun crafting, cupcake making, sprinkles all over the kitchen floor, and dancing and singing along with Just Dance.

By the time the play date was over and I got the kitchen cleared enough for making dinner, it was time for a well deserve cuppa and chill while I put my feet up for a bit. Before I knew it dinner time was fast approaching and my plans for making this Paprika Chicken with Roasted Butternut Squash and Linguine, fast when out the winder as it takes a little bit of preparing and there really wasn’t time, so instead I scraped it for something quick.

I figured a wok type dish would be perfect, I already had a bag of stir fried veg on hand and quickly put some jasmine rice to steam, so was looking in the cupboard for a quick sauce I could put together for the chicken thighs I still had to use.

That was when I spotted the Sriracha while rooting in my pantry cupboard for inspiration.  Usually just a teeny drizzle of Sriracha packs enough heat for me, so for a sauce, I wanted to mellow it down a bit. A little soy sauce, honey and water was perfect.

A good non stick wok or frying pan is a must for this kind of dish, like this Master Class Professional Non Stick Carbon Steel Wok.
