This sweet, sour and very spicy Sriracha sesame sauce takes a simple grilled chicken breast to a whole new level. It's easily made on the stovetop with butter, honey, Sriracha, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds.
Recipe ingredients and 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.
- Honey mellows out Sriracha's heat and adds a delicious, mild sweetness to the sauce.
How to make it:
Simply add all ingredients to a pan and cook for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
How to serve it:
This sauce is perfect with grilled chicken breast and rice. You can also serve it as a warm dipping sauce for chicken wings or meatballs.
