This recipe shows a great way to add flavor to chicken post-sous vide by using a sweet and spicy honey-sriracha glaze. You can vary the amount of sriracha you want in your glaze to make it as hot as you like. This recipe will work well with most types of poultry legs and thighs. I've found that searing sous vide chicken legs works best on a grill or under a hot broiler because of their odd shape. If you would like more information about the modernist techniques, ingredients, and equipment used in the sous vide chicken legs with honey-sriracha glaze recipe you can check out the following.

Cooking Instructions for Sous Vide Chicken Legs with Honey-Sriracha Glaze
For more information on the cooking times you can read my detailed article which addresses why is there a range in sous vide cooking times.
For the Glaze
Mix together all the ingredients. This can be done ahead of time and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a few days.
For the Squash
Heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the squash sticks and cook until tender, about 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
To Assemble
Remove the cooked chicken legs from the bag and dry them off. Brush the glaze on them and quickly sear until the glaze begins to bubble, turning regularly. Repeat a few times to get a thick glaze on the legs.
Place the squash on a plate and top with some chicken legs. Sprinkle with the basil, sesame seeds and sesame oil.

This article is by me, Jason Logsdon. I'm an adventurous home cook and professional blogger who loves to try new things, especially when it comes to cooking. I've explored everything from sous vide and whipping siphons to pressure cookers and blow torches; created foams, gels and spheres; made barrel aged co*cktails and brewed beer. I have also written 10 cookbooks on modernist cooking and sous vide and I run the AmazingFoodMadeEasy.com website.
