Firecracker Chicken
Feb 22, 2025 01:43 PM
Asian cuisine is a close second favorite in our home and something we enjoy FREQUENTLY! We love a good spicy dish like this sweet and spicy firecracker chicken.
With hot sauce and red pepper flakes, it has the perfect zing but is not overly spicy. The spice is perfectly balanced with honey, adding a hint of sweetness. I pour that delicious homemade sauce all over crispy breaded chicken chunks for one tasty dish that, dare we say it, is better than takeout!
Serve it on a bed of rice or Chow Mein and finish the meal with a Homemade Fortune Cookie. Trust me, you’re going to LOVE it!
