Save Time on Recipes

Gone are the days of adding in more chili peppers, paprika, salt, garlic powder, etc. separately which takes time to prepare and taste test often to make sure it is right.  That is also not always practical to do if baking a potato, or a dish with eggs - taste testing can’t always be done to make sure the spice is just right.  Now, the worry is over, when you use Sriracha Stix for seasoning, you know how much flavor and spice that will be added to a dish each and every time.  

When life is busy and time is limited, a fast meal preparation with an easy to make side dish is the way to go.  Keeping meals easy and simple will save time and still provide the flavor and enjoyment that you and your family will appreciate as if you spent hours preparing it!    

Just The Seasoning

Another great point to make along with the convenience of using Sriracha Seasoning is that it does not add a ton of extra ingredients to a meal or snack other than warm savory flavor.  When Sriracha is used with almost any food item, all you are adding is the flavor, not much else.  This is a bonus if you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle using simple ingredients.  Living and eating healthy on the go is not always easy, but now it can be.

For the days when you want to cook something tasty but still on the healthy side and not full of a long list of added ingredients then Sriracha Stix are the perfect go-to item.  They can spice up your life in so many ways from Seasoned Chicken, Spanish Rice, Chipotle Mayonnaise, etc.  Just see our other recipes for more great new cooking ideas.
