I have a well-documented popcorn addiction. I’m not ashamed! I like to fiddle around with the flavorings and see if I can change it up from regular butter and salt. I think this one is an experiment gone RIGHT: Sriracha Popcorn!
I went pretty easy on the Sriracha because I knew my girls would want to eat some of this and I didn’t want to burn their little tongues. But if you live in a house full of chile heads, crank it up! I used honey to balance out the spiciness, but you could use brown sugar instead. Ready to get poppin’? Let’s go!
Sriracha Popcorn
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha (or other hot sauce – use more if you like!)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash, Italian herb blend, or other seasoning blend
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil or coconut oil for popping
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- salt to taste
Directions:
- In a small pan over very low heat, melt together the butter with the Sriracha, honey, and seasoning blend.
- Meanwhile, pop the popcorn in the grapeseed oil.
- When popcorn is popped, pour the Sriracha butter over the popcorn. Cover with a lid and shake. Add salt to taste and shake again. Store any leftovers in a Ziploc bag.
