Receta Sriracha Mayo on Grilled Chicken Breast
Here’s another quick recipe—especially good on those hot summer evenings when you just don’t want to heat up the kitchen.
OK, this is actually because I had a small “brain-fart” last night and decided to try something just a little bit different—grilled chicken breast with Sriracha Mayo.
We love to grill bone-in/skin-on chicken breasts. While this is not considered as healthy as a bonless/skinless chicken breast, it’s certainly tasty. The bone and skin help to give a bit more flavor and keep it juicy. Cooking it fairly slow renders out the fat under the skin.
Usually I just season the chicken breast with my secret blend of spices—the secret is simplicity using just salt, pepper and garlic. I lift the skin and make sure to get a goodly amount underneath to season the meat and then sprinkle the seasoning all over the outside—top and bottom. For this version I used the smaller grind of salt and pepper and garlic rather than the chunky version I usually do.
And last night I thought to myself—what would happen if I mixed some mayo (actually “salad dressing) with Sriracha? So I got out a small bowl and my trusty spoon. I plopped a couple of good spoonsful into the bowl and then squirted a good teaspoonful of Sriracha into it, tasted it and then another squirt for good measure.
I put the chicken on the grill…bone side down first for about 3-4 minutes then flip it to the skin side for a couple minutes. Then I turned down one side of my gas grill as low as I can and put the pieces on that side, bone side down for about 15-20 minutes.
The last 5 minutes, I slathered the top of the breasts with the Sriracha Mayo and closed the lid. When I opened it, the sauce had caramelized nicely and everything was done.
Oh man, this was tasty. We also used the left over sauce for dipping. What I love about Sriracha is that it gives you a nice little jolt of heat and flavor in your mouth and then goes away ready for the next bite. This caramelized crust had a hint of flavor and the dipping provided the quick jolt.
