Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and 2-3 popcorn kernels to test if the oil is hot enough.
Once the test kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and immediately cover the pot with a lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning and allow the popcorn to pop. Remove from heat once the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops.
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl, leaving any unpopped kernels behind in the pot.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour the sriracha butter mixture over the popcorn and gently toss until the popcorn is evenly coated.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, flavorful Sriracha Popcorn!
