Sriracha Honey Chicken Legs

I love honey. I love sriracha. And, I love chicken, so they should go together really well, right? We are about to find out. For some people, sriracha is a bit on the spicy side but they love the flavor, which is where the raw honey comes in. The honey cuts the heat just enough to sweeten the dish and make that heat palatable for just about everyone.

This dish is super easy to make and ideal for when you are tagged with throwing the weekly football party!
