Grilled Sriracha BBQ Chicken – Slim Kitchen

Growing up in New England, I didn’t eat a lot of spicy food. As an adult, I took this opportunity to incorporate more spicy food into my diet, so this is Sriracha BBQ Chicken!

Sriracha BBQ Sauce can be used on chicken thighs, chicken breasts, and even pork! The chicken cooks quickly on the grill, so it’s perfect for busy weekdays when you need a quick, nutritious dinner. Pair this sticky chicken and corn on sticks, coleslaw, potatoes and even rice for a smoky dinner that everyone will love.

What is a Sriracha chicken?

Tips for barbecue Sriracha BBQ Chicken

Here are some quick tips to make sure your barbecue chicken shows up perfectly:

• Pickled: I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 3 hours, or stay overnight if you can! The longer you marinate, the more the chicken tastes.
• brush: If you like chicken sauce, feel free to cook the chicken on the grilled chicken so the sauce is caramelized.
• Make chicken skewers: Cut the chicken into cubes and put it on chili, pineapple and grill with metal or wooden skewers.

Making Sriracha BBQ Chicken in the Oven

No grill? Make this recipe in the oven instead! The following are:

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray the oven safe glass cooking tray with non-stick cooking spray. Place the marinated chicken on a plate and cook in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes until fully cooked. When there is no pink meat and the center is white, you will know that the chicken is completely cooked.

Can I make this recipe in a frying pan?

Absolutely! First, get rid of the excess marinade and place the chicken thighs in a hot skillet. Then, cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked and browned. For extra flavor, you can brush the chicken with Sriracha BBQ sauce for the last minute or two of cooking, or place it on the side.
