Sriracha Grilled Chicken Salad Food

SRIRACHA GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and pat dry chicken breast halves. Place chicken in a plastic baggie along with sriracha chili sauce and oil, squishing to evenly disperse marinade. Refrigerate and marinade 4 hours.
• Remove marinated breast and pat dry. Sprinkle with salt. Place breasts under broiler or on grill, cooking until no longer pink in center and juices run clear, about 5-10 minutes on each side. Let cool then cut into diagonal ¼ inch slices; set aside. This step can be done early in the day or even the day before.
• Divide between 2 plates the mixed greens, tomato halves and red onion. Place on top one cut-up breast per plate then top with bacon and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• Drizzle over salad dressing.

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).
