CAST IRON HONEY-SRIRACHA GLAZED CHICKEN WITH ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES



Cast Iron Honey-Sriracha Glazed Chicken with Roasted Root Vegetables image

I combined 3 recipes to create tender juicy chicken with an awesome honey-sriracha glaze. If you've always wanted to cook more stuff with turnips, give this a try. Aside from the delicious sauce, the most important part of this dish is using the high heat of cast iron to brown the chicken and vegetables before finishing in the oven.

CRISPY HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS



Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings image

The honey-sriracha glaze is quite delicious and incredibly simple, but merely an afterthought here. The real star of the show is the strange, but effective, technique of coating the wings with a baking powder-laced spice rub before baking. Through the magic of chemical reactions, the surface of the chicken becomes bone-dry, and eventually crisps up to something very similar to what would come out of a deep fryer.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Use fresh, flavorful chicken, honey, and sriracha.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make Sure the Sauce Is Thick and Sticky: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken, but not so thick that it's difficult to pour. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken it.
  • Serve with Rice or Noodles: Sriracha honey chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sriracha honey chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
