One of my favorite things to put Sriracha on now is re-fried beans (that I also don’t like LOL) with cheese.
One day I decided to see what kind of recipes were out there and I found this super easy Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken recipe on damndelicious.net. I have adapted it slightly to satisfy my family. I like a little more sweet than heat personally.
Hey, why not! They go together nicely.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken legs
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- Â salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Honey Sriracha glaze

- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray your baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- To make the glaze, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute or until slightly brown. Stir in honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, and lime juice. Bring to a boil; simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Set aside.

Cook for 15 – 20 minutes longer, turning and adding more sauce on the opposite side halfway through. (Cooking time will vary depending on what cut of chicken you are using. I prefer using legs or wings for this recipe)

Are you a fan of spicy food? Adjust the heat level in this dish simply by adding more or less of the Sriracha hot sauce.
Since making this recipe, I have tried a few other sweet and heat dishes. My newest favorite is Korean Beef with Rice! You may like that one also!

Thanks for sharing at Bloggers Brags this week! I am pinning this to the Bloggers Brags board on Pinterest. Have a blessed week!
Thank you for pinning! It is my pleasure to link up. You as well Christie!
This does sound delicious, and I have all the ingredients on hand. I am gluten free I am thinking I will substitute the flour with rice flour or cornstarch…hmmm…this is getting pinned for later. Thanks!
I never thought of that! Basically just need a thickener I’m sure rice flour would work fine. I use cornstarch and a little water for my teriyaki sauce, it would work the same with this one too.
We love chicken around here so I know this will go over well. It looks so good too! pinned! and thank you…making me hungry lol
LOL always a pleasure to make your tummy growl! Hope your able to give it a try!
I was just wondering what I was going to do with the chicken I pulled out for dinner tonight. Problem solved! This looks absolutely delish!
Easy and tasty! I hope you are able to give it a try. It’s so worth it.
It’s nice to hear from someone who also does not like the hot and spicy food. The family does, but I don’t so I’d be good to them if I made this middle of the road Siracha chicken for them.
Just cut back more on the sriracha, it is pretty spicy. Just a dab will do ya if you don’t like heat. I was shocked I liked it as much as I did to be honest.
Yep! Gonna try it!
