This super simple recipe is super delicious! With just five ingredients this sweet and spicy combo pleases everyone’s palate, from toddlers to Grandparents.

I’m not going to lie, I waited with bated breath as my 3 and 6 year olds tried this dish for the first time. They are NOT big fans of spicy food. They usually look on in mock horror anytime my Husband or Dad drench their food in Sriracha and here I was actually trying to serve it to them! To my amazement and utter surprise, they loved it!

My secret…honey! The 50/50 ration of Sriracha and honey was perfect for my family. The “spice-haters” loved it and the “spice-lovers” weren’t even tempered to add more Sriracha. THAT’S a win in my book!
