Baked Sticky Honey and Sriracha Chicken

By á-58

This recipe is easy-peasy and a great one for weeknight dinners. The honey gives the chicken a sweet flavor that both kids and adults love, while the Sriracha adds some heat and complexity. Feel free to add more or less Sriracha, depending on your taste. This recipe is fairly mild as written so if you want to add some more spice, double the Sriracha for a good burst of heat.

• 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/4 cup honey

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add flour and butter to two separate baking dishes. Dredge the chicken through flour, shaking off excess, then roll through the melted butter. Place chicken skin-side down on the sheet tray and bake for 30 minutes.

While chicken is baking, combine the honey, Sriracha, lemon juice and mustard together in a small bowl.

Remove chicken from oven and flip each piece skin-side up. Brush with the honey mixture and bake for 30 more minutes, basting with sauce occasionally, until cooked through.
