These sweet and spicy wings are the definition of mouth-watering. There is something special about crispy honey sriracha chicken wings straight off the grill.
The grill delivers the perfect smokey flavor infusion and the honey sriracha sauce brings a sweet heat unlike anything else you’ve tasted. Top it off by dipping these in a homemade ranch or blue cheese dressing. I can never decide which, so I always serve up both!
GRILLED HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WING INGREDIENTS
Chicken Wings – You can purchase your wings pre-cut or save a little money by cutting them yourself. Just make sure that the tips are trimmed off when you start grilling.
Sriracha – Any brand of sriracha will do, I usually keep Huy Fong or Kikkoman brands on hand. Trader Joe’s also sells a pretty good one.
Honey –Â I love adding a little honey to balance out the heat from the sriracha. Hot and sweet is a wing flavor my whole family loves.
HOW TO MAKE HONEY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS
These delicious wings are a breeze to make!
- First, start by prepping your chicken wings. Then place the wings in a large mixing bowl. Add in the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and poultry seasoning and toss to coat.
- Heat the grill to medium-high and place chicken wings skin-side down on the grill.
- Allow the wings to cook for 20-30 minutes, flipping about halfway through, until they are browned and crisp.
- Once the wings are fully cooked, place them into a clean large mixing bowl.
- Next, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the honey and sriracha and allow it to heat through.
- Pour the honey sriracha sauce over the wings in the large bowl and toss them until the wings are evenly coated.
- Finally, serve the wings with blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing!
If you need to keep your wings warm after grilling, you can put them on a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated oven set to warm. Then toss the wings in the sauce right before serving.
