Sweet Spicy Wings



These sweet and spicy wings are a perfect combination of savory soy sauce, honey sweetness, and the kick of Sriracha. Grilled to perfection, they make for a delicious and crowd-pleasing barbecue dish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

Mix soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, ginger, garlic, vegetable oil, and sesame oil in a bowl

This will make the marinade

Put chicken wings in a big plastic bag that can be closed again and again

Then, pour half of the marinade over the wings

Put the bag in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight for better taste

Warm up the grill over medium-high heat

Take the wings out of the sauce and season them with pepper and salt

The wings should be cooked all the way through and have a nice char after 15 to 20 minutes of grilling, turning them over every so often

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the wings with the rest of the marinade

After the wings are done cooking, put them on a serving platter and top them with chopped green onions and sesame seeds

Enjoy your sweet and spicy wings while they're still hot!
