Honey Chicken Sriracha

Mono and me have re-discovered Sriracha. I mean Sriracha has always been a part of our lives for the past 3 years...but it has become indispensable these days. Like soy sauce. Once you start using it...you cant do without it!

For those who dont know what Sriracha is its a Thai hot sauce, made of chili pepper distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. It is pretty hot...but not for people who are used to Indian food.

And the best part is you can add it to ANYTHING!!

So having said that I made some Honey Chicken Sriracha. And this is how..

Chicken Breast. Trim all fat.- 4

Honey- about 2 tablespoon

Yellow mustard - 2 tablespoon

Sriracha- 1 tablespoon

Lemon juice - 3 tablespoon

Mix the honey, mustard, sriracha and lemon juice and blend it well. Marinade the chicken in this and keep it for a day (or overnight) in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375F. Once that is done put in the chicken for about 55 minutes. 

As a finishing touch, I broiled the chicken for 4 minutes once the chicken was done. 

Enjoy!

Croissant pudding...similar to the one Nigella makes

OK

So after a long time I took my Nigella cookbook out. And went through mountain-load of recipes! I came across the croissant pudding that I have been meaning to try out for a really really long time.

It needed among other things bourbon. Which I did not have. So I was like OK...lets make my own version of this! If you want the original recipe it can be found here.

So this is what I did

Ingredients

• 3/4 cups sugar. For me this was a bit too much, I will probably go with 1/2 cup next time. But with 3/4 it is slightly less sweet than an average pudding sold in the US.
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• About 1 cup milk. You can also use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream!
• 2 stale croissants (PS: Have you tried Croissants from Costco? They are heavenly...like truly heavenly)

And thats all you need.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Break croissant into pieces and put them in a oven proof dish.

In a small saucepan put in your sugar and 1 tablespoon water and stir in low heat till it melts. Once it melts increase the heat and let the sugar syrup become brown (stir continuously....sugar syrup browns very fast, and it burns even faster)

Once brown add the milk (and cream if you are using it). Stir continuously till the hardened sugar syrup dissolves completely. Add vanilla. (Cinnamon, nutmeg...other stuff)

Turn off heat.

In another container, whisk the eggs together. Add the eggs to the milk while whisking the milk continuously. Pour this egg milk mixture over the croissant.

Bake the entire thing for 20 minutes.

Serve.

We had this for breakfast with unsweetened coffee. Very hearty. Delicious.

This recipe is enough for 2 people!

Next time I will use bourbon! And maybe chocolate!
