What is honey Sriracha?

Sriracha sauce by itself is a very spicy, thick hot sauce made from chili peppers, garlic, salt, sugar and vinegar. It’s sweet, sour, salty and very, very fiery.

Honey Sriracha sauce is a sauce made from Sriracha and honey, along with a few other seasonings. The honey mellows out Sriracha’s heat a little bit and adds a delicious, mild sweetness to the sauce.

You can purchase pre-made honey Sriracha sauce from the store but it’s very easy (and much tastier) to make your own!

Recipe ingredients:

Sriracha honey sauce ingredients on a table.
You need butter, honey, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic and sesame seeds to make the sauce.

Ingredient notes:

  • Butter adds richness and mellows out the otherwise quite harsh flavor of the Sriracha sauce. (It doesn’t take away any of the spiciness, just the harshness.)
  • Ginger and apple cider vinegar add a slight fruitiness that works well with the spicy flavors of the Sriracha.

How to make it:

This sauce couldn’t be easier to make. Simply add all ingredients to a saucepan and cook for a few minutes until thickened slightly.

How to use it:

Serve this sauce warm with grilled chicken breast or grilled chicken thighs and rice. You can also serve this honey Sriracha as a warm dipping sauce for chicken nuggets, chicken wings or meatballs.

How to store it:

Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

How spicy is this sauce?

This sauce is very spicy!
