Today I’m excited to share 36+ scrumptious and spicy Sriracha sauce recipes that are guaranteed rock your plate! These fun and fiery recipes are the best of the best.

sriracha chili sauce

Sriracha (pronounced see-rotch-ah) is easily argued to be king of the hot sauces by foodies and hipsters alike.

Despite its trendiness, you don’t need to be a food snob to appreciate the zesty kick-in-the-mouth that this sauce provides because, let’s face it, no one wants to eat bland food! Sriracha’s spicy-sweet flavor gives it a leg up on the competition with a little help from its garlicky undertones and vibrant hue.

Add a little for a manageable zing, or spice things up by putting Sriracha on your Sriracha on your Sriracha.

I kid, I kid.

I like to take the middle ground and add just enough to have me fanning my face while diving in for another bite. I still want to actually taste my food, but a mild spice-induced assault to the tastebuds every few bites is a welcome experience.
