I absolutely love all things sriracha — it is one of my favorite sauces and I tend to use it on everything! Really, though, I love anything spicy. If I’m not reaching for a glass of water it’s just not spicy enough for me. So when I needed to give my baked chicken recipe a spicy kick, I knew my sriracha sauce would be the perfect ingredient.
