Why You'll Love This Recipe?

⭐️It’s rich in flavor and texture.

⭐️Quick and easy to make with simple ingredients.

⭐️The heat level is adjustable, and it tastes delicious.

Ingredients for honey Sriracha sauce: Sriracha, honey, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, and salt.

Ingredients

  • Honey: I've used raw, unfiltered honey. Feel free to use maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Sriracha sauce: This store-bought, ready-made sauce already has a smoky flavor and punch. You can find it in the international aisle of a grocery store.
  • Apple cider vinegar: You may substitute it with Worchester sauce or a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Butter: I used unsalted butter. Adjust the salt if you are using salted butter.
  • Garlic powder: This is a flavor booster. It can also be substituted for minced garlic.

How To Make Honey Sriracha Sauce?

  • In a mixing bowl, add Sriracha sauce, honey, melted butter, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, and kosher salt. 
  • Using a whisk, stir well until all the ingredients combine well.
  • And ready to enjoy with taco, burger, or salad .

How To Use This Sriracha Honey Sauce?

  • Chicken wings: This spicy sauce is a go-to simple chicken wing glaze when you want to serve the family with restaurant-style food effortlessly.
  • As a salad dressing: Drizzle over the salad as a topping or toss for bold flavors(like Sriracha aioli).
  • Vegetables: It’s excellent with roasted vegetables or the vegetarian main dishes. Toss it or serve as a dip. Every spoonful goes a long way(like this Sriracha green beans). 
  • Pasta: Toss it with pasta for a quick dinner.

♨️How To Adjust The Heat?

This honey Sriracha sauce tastes moderately hot and is wrapped with the aroma of garlic. 

Sriracha is the main ingredient that determines whether the sauce is hot or mild. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to match your spice tolerance.

Storage & Reheating

You can use the leftover honey Sriracha sauce as a dipping sauce, marinade for meat, or a topping for pizza, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, and more.

Store the leftover sauce in the refrigerator for about three days and in the freezer for about four months.

When ready to use, let it thaw completely; you can serve it chilled or slightly warm over low heat(gentle enough to reheat without losing flavor).

FAQ

What is Sriracha sauce?

It's a Thai-style condiment made from jalapeño and other hot chili peppers. This sauce has a moderate heat level, and you'll sense the burst of heat in your palette that spreads across your palate and fades within a few seconds.

How to make the honey sriracha sauce vegan?

If you love Sriracha sauce and want to make this recipe vegan, simply swap the honey with plant-based sweeteners like agave nectar or maple syrup. You can also replace the butter with coconut or almond cream for a smooth, rich texture.
