Sriracha Butter Recipe

"Sriracha butter is my version of beurre blanc, the classic French sauce. The heat doesn't cling to your mouth (the fat subdues it), and lime juice gives it a nice acidity. It's become my signature condiment drizzled over fried chicken, but you can also slather it on burgers, put a little in scrambled eggs and dip fries in it." —Charles Phan, owner of the Slanted Door in San Francisco
