If you love chicken with a kick then this is the dinner for you! Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Chicken is a little spicy and a little sweet with the addition of the cool drizzle sauce!

How do you make honey sriracha chicken?

You’ve got to love simple meals with few ingredients that taste like (or better) than something you’d get eating out, right?

  • A four ingredient sauce goes over the chicken and into the slow cooker.  I was running late and started mine after lunch and it was still done in plenty of time for dinner.  Or you could start it earlier in the day and cook on low.  Deliciously simple either way.
  • Keep in mind when you are doing chicken in the crockpot that it can get overdone.  If you are away from home all day then a programmable slow cooker is a great investment.  I use this one but there are many less expensive (or more expensive) options depending on your budget and how many people you are trying to feed.  Unless I’m doing a big pot of soup or a large roast the 3.5 quart works well for my family of 4 most days.

The sauce for this dish is also super easy and just has a few ingredients.  The main thing you need to make is is the Sweet Chili Sauce.  I found it at Trader Joe’s but most supermarkets should have the same thing in their Asian food section.  A splash of hot sauce and honey and mix it all into some creamy cool mayo and greek yogurt (or you could just use one or the other).  Just make sure you drizzle on a little more than is socially acceptable because you are at home and no one will know and because…yum!!

Do you keep Sriracha on hand?  If not you should!  Use it for so many simple dishes like this!  I will be trying it with steak next time I think.

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • For the drizzle:
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce

Instructions

  • Cut chicken into large bite sized chunks
  • Place in crock
  • In a bowl mix together Sriracha, 1/4 cup honey, soy sauce and lime juice
  • Pour over chicken, cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 5-7 until chicken is cooked through
  • Whisk together drizzle ingredients
  • Serve chicken with rice or noodles as desired with a generous drizzle of the sauce

Notes

You can use all mayo or all yogurt for the drizzle sauce. I used a 3.5 quart slow cooker and my chicken took 3 hours on high. Keep in mind the size of your slow cooker and how hot it cooks so that you don't overcook your chicken.

    I made extra drizzle and toss some with a bag of pre-washed coleslaw veggies for an easy side or taco topper.

    I loved this recipe so much when I made it last time with chicken breast, I’m making it again! This time with drumsticks 🙂 I think after cooking in the crock pot I will coat them with the excess glaze, then broil them for a few minutes on each side.

    I love this recipe! Though I didn’t have a crockpot, so I grilled the chicken in the oven at 160 degrees celsius for 30 minutes, and had it over chicken & spinach rice. I would have loved it to be spicier though, for me the honey was on the same level with the sriracha and hot sauce. But maybe thats just me cause I love spicy, like craaay spicy! I will definitely make this again, it is so easy and delicious, thank you!

    I’m making this & substituting the sriracha (as I don’t like garlic) for tomato puree & tabasco 🙂
