Crockpot Honey Sriracha Chicken

It is Monday again; seems like that always happens very quickly!! Back to school is almost upon us in this neck of the woods, and you all need some quick, easy fixes. Pulling out the crockpot is a great help for a busy life!! This post first appeared over at Real Housemoms, where also I’m a contributor. I then did a little teaser here for you, but today I want to share the entire recipe for Mouth Watering Mondays, MWM – Crockpot Honey Sriracha Chicken. This is an easy recipe, of course, being done in the crockpot, but it is also a delicious one. The sweet heat comes shining through making this recipe a winner with everyone in the family!!

Don’t you just love taking a simple cut of chicken and a delightful sauce like this one, and in 5-6 hours, you have dinner!! Throw the rice in your rice cooker, and nothing could be simpler!! Steam up some already-prepped Asian veggies from the grocery store, and you have a feast on your hands!!

Do you already enjoy Sriracha sauce or never heard of it? It is a spicy Asian sauce that is fantastic with so many Thai and Vietnamese meals. Sriracha adds a lovely spice and flavor. In this recipe, in particular, it is toned down by the honey so as to not be too spicy. The heat also does mellow with cooking, so don’t make it too sweet. I think then everyone in the family can then enjoy this dinner.
