Honey Sriracha Chicken Recipe on Mac N Cheese

Honey Sriracha Chicken Recipe on Mac N Cheese

Flavors Used:

A little spicy, a little sweet. A little garlic, a little bourbon. A whole lot of Dan-O’s! This Honey Sriracha Chicken on Mac N Cheese Recipe is an absolute game-changer. It’s incredibly easy too! This can be prepped in just a few minutes, then onto the slow cooker and stovetop for the rest.

So, the idea for the shredded chicken on the Mac N Cheese came from one of my favorite places to eat, J Gumbos. They also have a honey sriracha chicken recipe, but I’m sorry… I like mine better :) The Dan-O’s Seasoning sets it off, and I go a little bit spicier than they like to. Really you can use this recipe on rice to go healthier, but nah.

A big tip to this recipe, quickly pan-sear your Dan-O’s coated chicken in a hot pan for about 1-2 minutes per side before putting in the slow cooker. This will activate the herbs and give some grilled flavor. Another tip is, splash a little bourbon in your slow cooker at the beginning of cooking.

So what’s in the sauce? Sriracha, honey, Dan-O’s, minced garlic, bourbon, soy, sauce, red wine vinegar, and a little lime juice and chicken stock. Is it weird I have all of this stuff handy? Probably. BUT the honey and sriracha are the stars of the show. I highly recommend at least having the soy sauce in addition those (at the minimum), but the more things you have the better on this one.

For the mac N cheese, I was lazy. I wanted to make my own, but used the stuff from the box and churched it up. Used cream cheese, greek yogurt for creaminess, spicy Dan-O’s, and mozzarella. It was still pretty Dan Good!

About 3-4 hours in, I had some of the best Dan honey sriracha slow cooker chicken I’ve had. I served this garlic bread and called it a day. Do this! Make this. Treat yoself. I used a mini crockpot here, but double up if you want to go bigger!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 Lbs chicken breasts
  • Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning
  • ⅓ cup sriracha (or less for less heat)
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 3 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1.5 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tbs red wine vinegar
  • ⅓ cup chicken stock (optional)
  • Water and corn starch (optional)
  • Green onion (optional)
  • Slash of bourbon
  • Splash of lime juice
  • Mac N cheese or rice

Preparation Instructions

  1. Preheat oiled pan to medium-high and season chicken breasts with Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning.
  2. Quickly sear chicken for 1-1.5 min each side (do not cook all the way through).
  3. Add chicken to bottom slow cooker.
  4. Add all liquid ingredients, a liberal amount of Dan-O’s and minced garlic together. Pour over chicken in the slow cooker. Add in enough chicken broth to cover breasts.
  5. Allow to cook on high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Carefully remove chicken from slow cooker and shred on a plate. Thicken up sauce if desired while the chicken is removed (corn starch water), more honey or Dan-O's to desired flavor. Add more honey or sriracha if too hot or not hot enough.
  7. Add chicken back to slow cooker. Start up your mac N cheese or rice.
  8. Once rice or mac N cheese is done, pour chicken and sauce overtop. Garnish with green onion and a drizzle of sriracha. Serve with garlic bread!
