Ingredients you'll Need to Make Honey Sriracha Chicken:

- Sauces: Sriracha, Soy Sauce, Honey, Rice Wine Vinegar, Ginger Garlic paste, and Water. These sauces are what you'll need for Honey Sriracha Chicken.
How to Make Honey Sriracha Chicken?
- Heat Oil and Sear Chicken: Heat some Sesame Oil in a pan. As the oil shimmers, add Chicken pieces cut into small cubes. Sear chicken until completely cooked on both sides.
- Add Bell Pepper: I just love Yellow Bell Pepper. It adds that beautiful color and crunch to our chicken. So chop Yellow Bell Pepper in small cubes and place them in the pan.
- Add Sauces: Now add Sriracha, Soy Sauce, Honey, Rice Wine Vinegar, Ginger Garlic Paste, and some water. These sauces will add a spicy and sweet touch to our Honey Sriracha Chicken. Finally, Season this with Salt and Pepper.

Honey Sriracha Sauce
The Honey Sriracha Sauce is so good that you should definitely try it. Its made with the following ingredients:

Its got a perfect sweet and spicy taste to it. It will satiate your Asian dinner recipe craving to the fullest. Also, this one is so easy to make and can be used for any other recipe as well.
Other Possible Variations:
- You can replace Chicken with Cauliflower. If you're not eating Chicken, then just use the same recipe for Cauliflower florets. Just wash and boil the cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes, drain the water and then fry it.
- You can add more Bell Peppers if you wish to.
- You can replace Sesame oil with Vegetable oil. However, I highly recommend trying this recipe with Sesame oil for that typical Asian restaurant-style taste.
- You can replace Rice Wine Vinegar with White vinegar.
- You can replace Honey with Maple.
- Instead of Ginger garlic paste, use minced garlic and finely chopped 1/2 inch ginger slice.
