Have you ever cooked with hot sauce? As in create an entire meal based around it?

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 T olive oil

Pour the marinade over the chicken and pop it in a 400° oven for 45 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, steam some rice on the stove.

You can also make a salad or another veggie.

This is just amazing.

If you want to make it less spicy, use half the sriracha sauce and one extra tablespoon of honey.

You could also use this to marinate the chicken for a couple of hours in the fridge and then grill the chicken thighs. That would be amazing too!
