20 minute Honey Sriracha Chicken and Noodles
Originally published Oct 2013.
This new sriracha chicken recipe shows why we’re known for quick cooked workday meals here at Rock Recipes. I’ve come to become a little addicted to Sriracha hot sauce in the past year, using it practically like ketchup on everything from steak to poached eggs.
In fact I actually do mix it into ketchup to use as a delicious sweet and spicy condiment on burgers, hot dogs and especially for dunking french fries. I’m not a particular fan of vinegar based hot sauces and find sriracha has better flavour anyway.
Deboned chicken breasts for Oven Fried Chicken Nuggets.
NOTE: I like to debone my own chicken breasts so that I can roast the bones and skins for stock later. I freeze them until I have enough to cover a baking sheet then use the instructions in my post on making Chicken Stock here.
Craving something quick cooked and spicy for dinner last night, I used it in this quickly stir-fried chicken recipe. Super fast Chinese noodles are always a favourite at our house.
The fact that they cook in only 3 to 4 minutes makes them ideal to serve with quick stir fries like this one. Twenty minutes is all it took to have this flavourful meal on the table.
