- Combine ½ cup soy sauce, sriracha and chicken in a bowl or ziplock food storage bag and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine peanut butter, grated ginger, minced garlic, garlic chili sauce, 3 Tablespoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, and warm water, and whisk until smooth and blended. Add more water as needed to thin the sauce to desired consistency. Set aside.
