Easy crowd pleasing Sriracha Honey Chicken Skillet Nachos. A perfect game day appetizer or snack!
With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, I wanted to blend a few of our favorite flavors into some tacos (coming Thursday) along with a fun and tasty platter of nachos.
Sriracha is a staple around here so I threw in some Sriracha Honey Chicken that I made in the slow cooker and loaded them up with some yummy toppings. They are sweet, spicy, cheesy and completely addicting!
In addition to the creamy avocado and sour cream, I added tomatoes, red peppers, jalapenos, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, black olives, green onions and some cilantro.
They are perfect for sharing and make a tasty addition to any fiesta!
These nachos are LOADED with a delicious Sriracha honey chicken, and all the traditional nacho fixings. This appetizer recipe is PERFECT for parties or game day!
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 2-3 Tablespoons Sriracha chili sauce depending how spicy you want it
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs can substitute with chicken breasts
- 1 13-ounce bag restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 red bell pepper cut into small chunks
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons black olive slices
- 2-3 Tablespoons sliced pickled jalapenos
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 green onion sliced thinly
- guacamole
- sour cream
- Sriracha or Sriracha mayo
Lightly grease 4-5 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce into the bottom of the slow cooker. Nestle chicken into the middle of the slow cooker and coat with sauce. Cover with lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1-2 hours. Transfer to cutting board and shred with two forks.
- Coat a 9" cast iron skillet with cooking spray (or line a large 9 ½ x 13 baking sheet with foil or parchment paper). Arrange half of the chips onto pan and top with half of the shredded chicken, then half of the bell peppers, olives, and cheeses. Top with another layer of chips and repeat the toppings.
Broil or bake at preheated oven at 400 F until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and top with pickled jalapenos, green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve with guacamole, sour cream and extra Sriracha sauce, if desired.

Nachos are my favorite way to use up leftover chicken, but this looks so good I think I just need to make it on its own! That sriracha honey sauce sounds incredible!

I never make nachos and that needs to change — I love them but I only end up eating them at a restaurant! These look amazing, Kelly, and I love the addition of the sriracha! Hope you’re doing well, friend! 🙂

I hope you have been well, Kelly! I’ve missed reading all of your yummy recipes.
