Five Star Sticky Sriracha Barbecue Chicken Drumsticks

My family and I are huge fans of sweet and spicy flavor combinations. In keeping with the popularity of this sriracha, Heinz added this Tomato Ketchup Blended with Sriracha Flavor to their specialty ketchup line-up we were thrilled. The ketchup is infused with spicy chili pepper and garlic flavors. These classic flavors together with the sweetness of the tomato makes it a perfect combination.
