Anyone that knows me, knows I am obsessed with Apple Butter. I LOVE it! But just eating it by the spoonful straight out of the jar seems a bit odd so I like to see what recipes I can come up with to put it in (check out my Caramel Apple Butter Bread!) and this sauce is FANTASTIC! It's sweet with a hidden "BAM!" of spicy that can catch your taste buds of guard! This will be a new family favorite for sure whether smothered on chicken wings, cocktail wienies, meatballs, chicken legs, pork roast, baked beans... the list is endless! Seriously fantastic! I would not steer you wrong!

How To Make head-over-heels apple sriracha baked chicken

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Rinse and pat dry all chicken pieces. Put pieces in a ziploc or big bowl, add olive oil and a little pepper if desired. No other seasoning is needed as the sauce will rock this chicken!
Step 3

Place chicken on prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 4

Meanwhile, combine ingredients for sauce. Remove chicken from oven after 30 minutes; coat entirely each piece of chicken. Return to baking pan and return to oven for about 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
