I first developed this recipe when I was looking for a way to add some flavor to my roasted chicken. I had some sriracha sauce on hand, and I thought it would be a great way to add some heat to the dish. I also added some herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and rosemary, to give the chicken a more complex flavor. The result was a delicious and flavorful chicken that was perfect for a weeknight meal.
