Ingredients

  • 1. 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed 2. 1/4 cup honey 3. 1/4 cup sriracha sauce 4. 2 tbsp soy sauce 5. 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 6. 2 cloves garlic, minced 7. Salt and pepper, to taste 8. Optional: green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your grilled honey sriracha glaze.
  2. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Pour the glaze over the wings, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 400°F). Grill the chicken wings for 20 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside. Make sure to brush them with extra glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for that perfect sticky finish.
  4. Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Chef’s Insight

When marinating the wings, be sure to distribute the glaze evenly across all pieces for maximum flavor infusion. And don't forget to turn them occasionally during grilling to ensure they cook evenly.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the honey to sriracha ratio based on your preferred level of spiciness. For extra smoky flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika to the marinade.
