Honey Sriracha Chicken & Fried Rice

Sometimes I feel like being lazy. I feel like only doing the minimum required amount of house work and the minimum amount of work for dinner. I want to relax and take it easy.

Tonight was one of those nights. After some brainstorming on easy dinner ideas, I ended up with a Pinterest inspired recipe. Though, I didn't have exactly what I needed for that recipe, so I ventured out on a culinary adventure of my own. 

The result was awesome, if I do say so myself.
