Whisky. Sriracha. Candy.

I needed to sit down when I saw this recipe. How did they so magically combine some of my favorite things into a sweet little inconspicuous-looking heart?

I’m really looking forward to bringing these into the office and secretly getting my whisky fix. Boss asks what’s up? “Oh, they’re cough drops… I haven’t been feeling 100% the past few days, but I didn’t want to miss work. You know me… Mr. Dedicated!” Then I’ll cough on her so she goes back to leaving me alone, all while I unassumingly get my drank on (with a soupçon of Sriracha to boot) and look like a model employee. WIN.

Lay’s debuts new Sriracha Potato Chips alongside two other flavors: Cheesy Garlic Bread and Chicken & Waffles

Well, it was only a matter of time before somebody introduced Sriracha Potato Chips to the world, and it looks like that time is now. Lay’s—through its “Do Us A Flavor” promotion—asked consumers to submit new flavor ideas for consideration that would be voted on via social media. After sorting through thousands of submissions, the folks at Lay’s narrowed it down to three flavor finalists: Sriracha, Cheesy Garlic Bread, and Chicken & Waffles. 

The new potato chip flavors are due to hit shelves on February 12, and fans are still encouraged to vote for their favorite to ensure that they stay year-round.

Your trusty Sriracha Cookbook author hasn’t tried the Sriracha potato chips, but rest assured that I had an email out to the Lay’s media relations team four days ago! (Now, if only they’d answer it…) Once I find a bag to try, I’ll be sure to report back. In the meantime, I’m gonna go grub on some Sriracha Peas to curb my rooster sauce snack craving.

Have you gotten a hold of any of the new flavors? Whaddya think?

Recipe: Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Sliders with Tangy Gorgonzola Sauce and Sprite Pickles

Tom Liddy over at DNAinfo.com seems to have stumbled onto a grand recipe idea here. Boneless skinless chicken breasts are cooked and shredded with a Sriracha buffalo-style sauce, and placed on toasted slider buns with a dollop of creamy yogurt mixed with Gorgonzola and fresh lemon zest. On the side are pickles made with Sprite that sound beyond intriguing; I can’t wait to try them.

If you’re a diehard chicken wing fan, and can’t think about buffalo sauce on anything else but wings, you can also check out my Honey-Sriracha Glazed Buffalo Wings recipe.

What Do Water, Beer, Milk, Gasoline, and Sriracha Cost, in Dollars per Gallon?

Bon Appétit magazine looks at the comparative prices of certain liquids, per gallon. Interesting to see how it all stacks up, but no matter how much Sriracha costs, I’ll always contend that it’s WORTH EVERY PENNY.
