Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chicken wings
- 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Wings
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help them get crispy in the oven.
In a large bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the sauce until they are evenly coated.
Step 2: Baking the Wings
Place the coated wings on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other. This will allow them to cook evenly and become crispy.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Step 3: Serving
Once the wings are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish the wings with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness and color.
Serve the Spicy Sriracha Wings with lime wedges on the side, allowing your guests to squeeze some lime juice over the wings for an extra tangy kick.
Conclusion
These Spicy Sriracha Wings are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. The combination of heat from the Sriracha sauce and sweetness from the honey creates a perfect balance of flavors. Whether you’re hosting a game night or simply craving a spicy treat, these wings are a must-try. Enjoy!
