Who loves sriracha? How about Sriracha Chicken?
I saw the recipe for sriracha chicken floating around Pinterest and like most of the meals I make, I decide I can make them healthier but still taste really good. Because why not?
I like to think I’m getting pretty good at that. Especially Chinese food. Because I haven’t had Chinese food in about five years, and I freaking love it.
