These honey sriracha glazed grilled chicken wings offer a perfect balance of sweet and spicy with a smoky char, making them an easy and addictive game day snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds whole chicken wings or wingettes/drumettes, skin on
  • 1/3 cup (113g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 pounds (900g) of chicken wings and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, olive oil, and black pepper. Set aside about 1/4 cup (60ml) of this glaze for later basting and serving.
  3. Toss the wings in the remaining glaze until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 204°C). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Arrange the wings on the grill using a wire rack or directly on the grate. Grill for 20-25 minutes total, flipping every 5 minutes.
  6. During the last 10 minutes, baste wings frequently with the reserved glaze to build a sticky, glossy coating.
  7. Check for doneness: wings are done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is crisp and caramelized.
  8. Remove wings from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or cilantro if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before marinating for crisp skin. Baste wings during the last 10 minutes of grilling to build a sticky glaze. Watch for flare-ups due to honey glaze dripping and move wings to cooler spots if needed. Meat thermometer recommended to ensure doneness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For less heat, reduce sriracha or use sweet chili sauce.
