Looking for your next easy go-to weeknight dinner? Something you make often because it’s so simple to whip together? Look no further than Honey-Sriracha Chicken, my friends! This honey-sriracha chicken recipe cooks up fast, and it’s perfect for the spicy food lover. It’s loaded with flavor from my sweet, spicy, tangy honey-sriracha marinade that makes the chicken extra juicy inside. The marinade recipe also serves as your honey-sriracha sauce, so you only have to make it once, then divide it half. Easy meal prep! and a wonderful combination of honey and sriracha for a blast of sweet and spicy. It’s so good! Yes! Easy and delicious!

Ingredients:
For the Marinade & Sauce:
½ cup sriracha
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ cup honey
½ cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Chicken:
4 large chicken breasts (this recipe can marinate more if needed)
Olive oil, as needed

Instructions:
Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together until well combined. Reserve half of the marinade to use later for basting and serving.
Marinate your chicken in a baggie or large bowl, sealed, at least 8 hours in the refrigerator, or overnight for even more flavor. If time is a factor, you can marinate for 30 minutes to get some additional flavor.

Cooking the Chicken:
Heat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken 5 minutes per side to get a nice sear.
Baste/brush on a few spoonfuls of the reserved honey-sriracha sauce and continue to grill until you reach an internal temperature of 165F when measured with a meat thermometer. I like to baste a few times while cooking.
Remove from heat and let rest a couple minutes.
Serve with the remaining reserved honey-sriracha sauce.

Notes:
Heat Factor: Mild-Medium, but you’ll get plenty of sweet zing from the honey-sriracha marinade and finishing sauce. For more pronounced heat, try adding spicier chili powder or flakes to the marinade/sauce.
