If you can find peri peri (or piri piri sauce), please use that instead. <br \/>2 teaspoons of Sriracha yields a very mild spicy result. So mild we could hardly taste it. Feel free to leave it out if you have doubts, but we love it in there for the flavour enhancement. For a good kick of spice, 1-2 tablespoons is a good start. I started with 2 teaspoons, taste tested, and added extra teaspoonfuls from there until reaching our desired spice level (we loved ours at 1 1\/2 tablespoons of Sriracha). For an extremely HOT marinade, add in 3-4 tablespoons. When taste testing, the marinade will be strong. Don&#8217;t worry, and please don&#8217;t add any water to dilute it. It will dilute naturally in the oven when cooking through the pan drippings.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">*COOK time does not include marinating
