This popular sriracha roast chicken recipe is a hit among readers and the sriracha gravy is equally delicious.

I have to admit, Diane is brilliant at times. Most the time, IMO and I should be a good man and say all the time, but everyone knows we all have our off days.

It seems like we are roasting a whole chicken about every other week. I put a lot of care into the juiciness of the meat, the crispiness of the skin, and combined with mixing it up with different herb rubs it is something we never tire of making or eating. Yet when Diane asked for a sriracha roast chicken, a couple thoughts came to mind: “Brilliant” and “Damn it, how come I’ve never thought of that?!”

Then she adds in, “And make a sriracha gravy with it.”

DeliciousVideo for making the Sriracha Roast Chicken Recipe with Sriracha Gravy:

Oh My Brilliant Boo. And not that she needs me to make it. We both do our equal share of cooking and especially when it comes to the spicy cooking, she usually reigns supreme in the kitchen. But I think she knows how much I like roasting the chickens. And I have to admit, I do love roasting chickens. There is something appealing about the rituals and simplicity of roasting a chicken. Taking care of the little details to enhance it; brining the chicken, or air drying the skin, trussing it, or pushing the heat in the oven to almost char the edges of the chicken. I love it.

So here’s my take on a sriracha roast chicken recipe. I created a sriracha baste whichis then used in making the gravy. Gosh, this sriracha roast chicken recipe is so easy, you’ll want to make it everyday.

Sriracha Roast Chicken

I didn’t make this sriracha roast chicken recipe overly spicy so it is still approachable to most people. Feel free to amp up the spice to your own taste. We’ve also finished it with generous handfuls of chopped mint and cilantro. The heaping fresh herb topping is something we’ve been seeing quite a bit lately when we’ve eating out on our travels and have really been digging. Not that we need to travel to experience it, as Vietnamese cuisine routinely does this.

Hope you enjoy.

Sriracha Roast Chicken w/ Sriracha Gravy

When adding the sriracha marinade to the chicken, make sure to add some inside the cavity of the chicken too. During baking, the chicken will be more flavorful. Make sure to serve the sriracha roast chicken with generous handfuls of the chopped fresh mint and cilantro. The freshness of the herbs contrasting against the gentle tingle of the sriracha gravy and baste completes this roast chicken. Feel free to amp up or tame down the spiciness with your choice and quantity of sriracha or hot sauce.

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on how large your chicken is. A general rule of thumb is at least 15 minutes per lb. when cooking at 425°F. For best indication, either test the internal temperature to be 165°F in the thickest part of the meat (deep thigh, deep breast – near but not quite touching the bone), or cut a slit in the thickest part of the meat and check the doneness.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Chicken (usually about a 4 lb. chicken)
  • Kosher Salt
  • fresh cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil (60ml) or Vegetable Oil
  • 1/3 cup Ketchup (80ml)
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar (30ml) (use distilled white vinegar for gluten free)
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha (60ml)or other hot sauce, to taste
  • 3 Tablespoons Fish Sauce (45ml) (use Tamari for gluten free)

Gravy Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Flour (30g)
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock (475ml), heated to a near simmer

Additional Serving Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh Cilantro , roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh Spearmint , roughly chopped

Equipment

Instructions

  • (Optional for best flavor and juiciness. For Quickest Preparations- skip brining, just season with salt and pepper) Rinse chicken and place in a large bowl. Cover with a brine (salted water – the water should have the approximate saltiness of sea water). Place in fridge for at least a couple hours or overnight.

  • Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Truss if desired (click on link for trussing instructions).

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F/220°C.

  • Combine the oil, ketchup, rice vinegar, sriracha, and fish sauce in a bowl. Mix well.

  • Baste the chicken with the sauce and add some sauce inside the cavity of the chicken. Place chicken in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

  • Roast for 50 minutes. Remove foil and return chicken to oven, uncovered, and roast for another about 30-45 minutes, or until juices run clear when you cut between the leg and the thigh or the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F/74°C when probed with an instant read thermometer. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes.

  • Pour the juices from the baking dish into a saucepan. Add the remaining basting sauce to the saucepan. Over medium/high heat, whisk in the flour. Whisk in the chicken stock and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

  • Carve and serve the chicken with the sriracha gravy and with the fresh herbs generously sprinkled over the top.

    Does this method of roasting chicken result in crispy skin?

    • February 3, 2021 @ 11:08 am Reply

      Hi Lex,
      Because of the marinade, the skin isn’t crispy, but it does firm up nicely. Especially the darker you let it roast. We like to take it to a slight char.

    Made it last night! We absolutely loved it. I spatchco*cked and brined the chicken which made for a juicy roasted chicken.
    After tasting the mixture before I brushed the chickenI added a touch of honey which was just what it needed for a perfectly balanced sauce and gravy. Thanks for the recipe.Sriracha Roast Chicken Recipe and Sriracha Gravy | White On Rice Coupl (11)

    Dying to eat this ! I plan on roasting 2 chickens – do you recommend doubling the sauce/marinade ? Thank you ?

    • February 10, 2019 @ 7:39 pm Reply

      Yes! Definitely double the sauce, you’ll need it. Enjoy!

    Is the fish sauce essential, can I omit it or substitute it?

    • May 14, 2017 @ 7:55 am Reply

      Fish sauce isn’t essential, but it does give a very rich umami flavor. You can definitely substitute it with soy sauce or Worcherstershire sauce.

    This is delicious!!! The chicken took longer than I expected – I think I’d leave the foil on longer – but it was amazingly good!!Sriracha Roast Chicken Recipe and Sriracha Gravy | White On Rice Coupl (13)

    This was delicious. Made it for the first time last night. I didn’t catch the part about adding the last of the basting sauce as it didn’t say to reserve any so I didn’t have any to add to the gravy but it still had a lot of flavor.Sriracha Roast Chicken Recipe and Sriracha Gravy | White On Rice Coupl (15)

    My boss made this and said it was fantastic. As she’s my boss, I believe everything she says. (Actually, it does look amazing). So I’m making this for a dinner party and going to serve it with vermicelli rice noodles and bok choy. What flavors do you suggest I use for cooking the noodles and bok choy so that it will compliment the chicken flavors and not compete or overwhelm them. Or should I just steam them and let the sriracha gravy do the rest?

    Thanks

    • White on Rice Couple October 26, 2014 @ 10:29 pm Reply

      A garlic and sesame bok choy would be quite nice with the chicken. It would be good simply steamed too. Either way is a good way to go.
