Notes

Adjust sriracha based on your spice tolerance
To use boneless chicken breasts, lightly pound the breasts to flatten it and even out the thickness. Marinate, then cook it smooth side down at 375°F for 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
