Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a milder version, reduce the sriracha or substitute with a milder hot sauce.
• Avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it moist and tender.
• Serve with a wedge of lime for an extra zesty kick.
Food Safety:
• Ensure ground chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
