Seared Chicken With Sriracha Barbecue Dipping Sauce Recipes

FRIED CHICKEN WITH BUTTERMILK SRIRACHA DIPPING SAUCE AND CORNBREAD

Steps:

• For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.
• Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, buttermilk and melted butter. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and fold together until there are no dry spots (the batter will still be lumpy). Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the middle of the cornbread comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cornbread from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• For the fried chicken: Combine the buttermilk and sriracha with a fork in a large bowl and season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken and let soak.
• Mix the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cayenne until well blended in a large shallow platter. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Remove the chicken and dredge the pieces a few at a time in the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk and finishing in the seasoned flour. Set aside and let the chicken rest while the oil comes to temp. This also allows the breading to develop.
• Put about 3 inches of oil into a large deep pot; it should not come up more than halfway. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 to 365 degrees F on one of those clip-on deep-fry thermometers.
• Once the oil has reached 350 to 365 degrees F, working in batches, carefully add the chicken pieces 3 or 4 at a time. Fry, turning the pieces once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Total cooking time should be about 30 minutes per batch.
• When the chicken is done, take a big skimmer and remove the chicken pieces from the pot, shaking off as much oil as you can, and lay it on a tea towel or brown paper bag to soak up the oil.
• Sprinkle all over with more salt and a dusting of black pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
• For the dipping sauce: Combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and chives together in a small bowl.
• Once all the chicken is fried, serve hot with lemon wedges, cornbread and buttermilk sriracha dipping sauce.

SEARED CHICKEN WITH SRIRACHA BARBECUE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients; stir in 1/2 teaspoon oil. Place shallot mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag; add chicken to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 3 hours to overnight, turning bag occasionally. Combine ketchup and next 4 ingredients (through vinegar). Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Add chicken to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 8 minutes or until done, turning twice. Serve with ketchup mixture.

SRIRACHA ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk Sriracha chile sauce, soy sauce, mirin, lime juice, butter, brown sugar, and ginger together in a bowl.
• Put chicken thighs into a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the chile sauce mixture into the bag. Squeeze excess air from bag and seal; marinate at least 1 hour to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Remove chicken thighs from marinade and shake to remove excess moisture; arrange onto prepared baking sheet.
• Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer marinade for 10 minutes.
• Roast chicken thighs in preheated oven for 20 minutes, brush with the reserved marinade, and continue roasting until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SPICY SRIRACHA CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Thinly slice the chicken breasts and cut slices in half to create pieces about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.
• Transfer chicken to a bowl and toss with baking soda. Set aside for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha, honey, and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Combine snap peas, scallions, garlic, and ginger in another bowl.
• Rinse the chicken thoroughly in a colander and pat dry.
• Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet of wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and a splash or two of the Sriracha-honey sauce. Stir fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, about 4 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate.
• Add remaining oil to the skillet and pour in snap pea mixture. Cook until peas are crisp but still tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and add remaining sauce. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes.
• Serve over rice.
