Baked Sriracha Honey Chicken Wings

It's hard to find a person who hates the flavor of Buffalo wing sauce. It tastes phenomenal on just about everything! For my recent Super Bowl party, using sriracha sauce, I made them with an Asian twist which I hope you will try in your home. Soon, ok?


The heat of the Sriracha sauce paired with the sweetness of honey is well... heavenly. I made over 5 pounds of these chicken wings and not an ounce was left over! They're also baked, so no one will have that greasy feeling after they devour them (which they will, I promise) and your house won't reek of oil for the next 5 days. The best part is this recipe takes less than an hour to make from start to finish. Perfect for your next get-together!

Ingredients
  • 5 lbs chicken wings -I used individually frozen ones, but feel free to use whatever you prefer
  • 3/4 cup Sriracha sauce - this can be found in the Asian isle of just about every major supermarket
  • 1/2 cup honey 
  • 3-4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar (if this isn't in your local market, use the juice of 1 lime instead)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • 1 stick of butter
  • cooking spray
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of aluminum foil, and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Add the frozen (NOT thawed!) chicken wings to the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, turning the wings over once during cooking.
  3. In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter on low. Add sriracha, honey, vinegar (or lime) and ketchup and heat through. 
  4. Once the wings are cooked (their internal temperature should read 180 degrees F), transfer them to a large pan. I used one of those disposable aluminum pans to cut down on my dish washing time!  [Note: If you're making a smaller batch of wings, make the same amount of sauce and just use what you need for your wings and store the remaining amount!]
  5. Add sauce and coat wings thoroughly. Top with cilantro (optional).

Serve with chilled bleu cheese or ranch dressing and lots of carrot and celery sticks!
