Heat in oven just until they crack open, about 5 minutes
Pry open clams and discard top shell, collect all liquid that drains out
Combine breadcrumbs, panko, romano ,and sriracha seasoning in a bowl
add clams back to foil lined pan
Top each clam with a drop of barbeque sauce, about 1/2 teaspoon. My Basic Barbeque sauce attached below
