Add a kick to dinner with my one-pan honey sriracha chicken and rice! Quick, easy, and just the right amount of spicy heat.
Are you looking for a new pan dinner idea? Look no further! Try my Honey Sriracha Chicken and Rice! It is quick and easy to prepare and has that awesome sriracha kick to it.
Don't worry, it isn't too spicy hot for kids. I'm not a big fan of spicy hot foods. This dish is definitely more at the mild end of the spectrum.
Then again, if you really love hot and spicy food, you can always add more sriracha sauce to take it up a notch.

What does Sriracha taste like?
Sriracha flavor varies a bit from brand to brand, but in general, it has a tangy, sweet garlic taste that is spicy. I've heard it described as a sweet chili sauce as well.
There seems to be quite a bit of debate among heat enthusiasts as to how the sriracha's spicy heat compares to Tabasco, Chipotle, and other hot sauces. So where it ranks for you on the spicy heat meter probably depends on your personal taste.
