The sauce in this chicken stir fry has a nice kick of hot sauce and if you’re a sriracha hot sauce fan, you’ll love this chicken stir fry recipe even more because of the nice tangy/sweet and spicy combination that sriracha brings.

What ever you decide to you, don’t be afraid to add extra asparagus because the wonderful, tender taste of these sprigs are fantastic. It’s hard to not love chicken stir fries.
