This weekend we went to a Chinese restaurant and I could not put the sriracha down. It was not my first time trying sriracha but I was never a huge fan of it; the condiment has a lot of spice that can be over powering. I decided to add it to my meal for the fifth and final time.
Next thing I knew! Half the bottle was gone. I don’t know if it was the meal I order, or just my palette has changed, but I am now a huge fan of sriicha!
The minute we left the restaurant all I could think about was sriracha and where could I get some! After three different stores we finally found some and I could not wait to find something I could eat with this condiment.
I know you know the old saying bacon goes well with everything; I don’t know it that is true (Jack in the Box bacon shake), but I do know sririacha does go well in this chicken stir-fry.
Josh was upset that his stirfry did not look as good as the one in the picture! He asked me where did I get this and why did he not get any? The life of a foodie!

Recipe Notes: If you like more heat you can add 1/2 cup of sriracha sauce instead of 1/4 cup. If you would like to double the amount of chicken you can and the recipe will still work. I did not use a lot of oil because I baked the chicken; the chicken was not dry it was still moist and tender.
