You could slave away all day over an elaborate meal for Valentine’s Day, you could go frilly and fancy, but that’s not what your Valentine wants. If your Valentine is like ours, he (or she) is inclined to “manly” flavors—spice, bacon, and beer—in which case this Bacon and Sriracha Chicken Sandwich recipe is perfect. A little like a club sandwich but a lot better just be sure to serve it with a good IPA for a knock-it-out-of the park meal. Plus, it takes minutes to prepare, not hours, which means more time to concentrate on the romantic stuff.
