Published 8/24/2024 This sriracha chicken is a set-it-and-forget-it kind of meal. Who doesn’t love to walk into the house after a long day of work and smell the sweet scent of sriracha chicken? I love to keep things simple and serve it next to white rice with stir-fried veggies!
The Easiest Slow Cooker Recipe
Some people say slow cooker season is the fall and winter, but at Fit Foodie HQ it’s ALWAYS slow cooker season. I know the latest rage is the Instant Pot (I love my IP, too), but my slow cooker will always have my heart. So this honey sriracha chicken — I’ve made it millions of times and so have lots of my friends and family. It is so simple to make and you only need 5 ingredients. BOOM SAUCE. Speaking of sauce, let’s talk about FFF’s signature honey sriracha sauce for a second. Here’s what you need: I want to preface that THIS RECIPE IS SPICY. Like spicier than midwestern spicy. If you’re looking for something a bit milder. I suggest stepping back a little from the sriracha.
What You Need for Honey Sriracha Chicken

Bring down the spice: Right now the honey, sriracha, and tamari are 1:1:1. If you bring the sriracha down to 1/4 cup and it would do wonders for bringing down the spice. If you like spice, then this recipe is for you!
How long should I cook honey garlic chicken in the slow cooker?
This recipe is so simple! Add all of your ingredients to your slow cooker and cover. Cook on low for around 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.
Should I cook my chicken on low or high?
Oh, the burning question. What is a better setting on the slow cooker, low or high?
Short answer – low and slow is always better when it comes to chicken in the slow cooker. It will leave your chicken tender and juicy and it’s much easier to shred. Long answer – you have to do what’s right for you. Maybe, you need dinner to be ready in 2 hours, well, then the high setting is for you. But, if you have the time to put this together 6-8 hours before serving, we always recommend the low setting!
How do I make this less spicy?
If you’re reading this because you followed the recipe and you think things are a little bit too spicy, the answer is to dilute the sauce with more salt and sugar, so, honey and soy sauce! If you’re reading this and you haven’t made the sauce yet, start with a couple tablespoons of sriracha and go from there!
How to Serve this Amazing Chicken
This has to be one of my favorite slow cooker shredded chicken recipes to meal prep. Get out your handy dandy meal-prep containers and portion out 6 servings along with your favorite grain (I recommend quinoa or white rice) and veggie (air fryer broccoli has been a fav lately).
