Honey Sriracha Chicken

Honey Sriracha Chicken

You will notice a trend on The Newlywed Guide to Cooking blog, and that would be CHICKEN!

I personally love cooking chicken, and consuming chicken. Honey Sriracha is one of our favorite chicken recipes.  This recipe is a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, salty and sour. This recipe is easy, and you can use different cooking methods, which makes this a very convenient for dinner. This dish is amazing because you can either bake, pan fry, or use a crock-pot. Note: allow 30 minutes to marinate (unless using crock-pot method).
