This is oh, so easy and can be used on just plan old chicken or steak. There is really no need to even marinated the meat, the butter is just THAT incredibly good.
A little note.. Ponzu, if you have never used it, is a soy sauce with either lemon or lime flavor. It's DA-BOMB!!!

Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons Sriracha
For the butter -
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2-3 teaspoons Sriracha
1/2 - 1 teaspoon lemon Ponzu
Directions:
Place the chicken in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the 2 Tablespoons Sriracha over, cover/seal, and place in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the butter, Sriracha and Ponzu (adding the Sriracha and Ponzu a little at a time until you get the flavor you like) until well combined. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to use (remove from fridge about 5-10 minutes before you are ready to serve).
Preheat grill to 375 degrees F. Clean and oil grill grates. Place the chicken over direct heat and grill for 7-10 minutes per side or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from grill and allow to rest for 3 minutes. Scoop out a tablespoon (or less) of the butter and place on top of the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!

where do you find all these amazing flavours? I need a serious re-stocking of my store cupboard... nice work!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE on a sriracha kick lately! They should pay you for all of the advertising. :)
ReplyDeleteThe chicken looks extra tasty with that spicy butter.
And to think I'd never heard of Sriracha until I met you, Jenn! Kevin loves it on just about everything. :-)
ReplyDeleteSriracha butter?! Oh my lordy. That needs to go on everything. Great recipe, Jenn!
ReplyDeleteLoks very good Jenn and now that you are on this sriracha kick, will we soon be seeing sriracha jello or pudding or ice cream? :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea Jenn. And so simple. A must try.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ponzu. I've been using the grocery store stuff and it's pretty good and available.
ReplyDeleteMight I inquire: what exactly is Sriracha? Never heard of it. Can I make it myself or do I have to buy it?
ReplyDeletemrlibrarian, Srircha is a garlic chili hot sauce and can be found at most grocery stores. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce
ReplyDeleteYou can also make it, but since I have never made it myself, I do not want to give you a recipe for it. You can do a search on Google and decide which recipe works best for you.
