# How to Prepare:
01 -
In a bowl, whisk together sriracha, extra virgin olive oil, honey, white wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly incorporated. Reserve half of the mixture for basting and serving.
02 -
Place chicken breasts in a sealable bag or large bowl. Add half of the marinade and seal. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for optimal flavor development. For a quicker preparation, marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
03 -
Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
04 -
Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade. Grill chicken breasts for approximately 5 minutes per side, creating a deep sear.
05 -
Brush chicken with reserved honey-sriracha sauce. Continue grilling, basting several times, until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
06 -
Remove chicken from grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with remaining reserved honey-sriracha sauce.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a spicier variation, incorporate hot chili flakes or a spicier chili powder into the marinade.
02 -
Always check doneness with a meat thermometer to achieve a safe and juicy result.
