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!

Honeyed Roast Chicken

Ok so now that i baked that cake yesterday i got into the cooking mode and well cooked up a storm today...

i made 3 things.all from this awesome receipe book my friend gave me.

the first one was a receipe using quail...but i substituted quail with chicken and i was happy with the result...

Ingredients:

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/4 cup soy sauce (though go a little easy on this one...if used in excess it turns the coating slightly bitter in a muddy way...trying tasting raw soy sauce and you will understand what i mean)

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp sesame seeds (the recipe didnt call for it but i used roasted sesame seeds)

about 1/2 kg chicken.

To make the coating, put oil, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice and sesame seeds in a small vessel and cook stirring continuously over a low flame...till it thickens slightly.

Boil the chicken in water with a little salt.not to cook the chicken but just to 1/4 cook it (i didnt know what half of semi was..basically i mean boil the chicken for 5 minutes)

Now drain the 1/4 cooked chicken and coat it with the above mixture and roast it..for about 15 minutes or till the chicken is cooked.

So easy no?
