Spicy Sriracha Lime Popcorn Delight

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

1. Prepare the Popcorn:
- Place 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels in a microwave-safe popcorn popper or a large microwave-safe bowl covered with a vented microwave-proof lid.
- Microwave on high for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the popping slows to about one pop per two seconds. Carefully remove from the microwave and set aside.

2. Melt the Butter:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Microwave on medium-high for about 30-45 seconds, checking every 15 seconds to prevent burning. Stir to ensure complete melting.

3. Make the Flavored Sauce:
- In a separate small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

4. Combine Butter and Sauce:
- Gently mix the melted butter with the prepared sauce, ensuring a uniform consistency.

5. Toss the Popcorn:
- Drizzle the flavorful buttery sauce over the popcorn. Gently toss the popcorn with the sauce until every kernel is coated evenly. Make sure to mix thoroughly but gently to avoid crushing the popcorn.

6. Serve:
- Transfer the dressed popcorn to a serving bowl. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, warm, and zesty flavors.
