Ingredients

  • 4 lbs chicken wings (split at joint, tips removed)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat 4 lbs chicken wings (split at joint, tips removed) dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 1/4 cup sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp rice vinegar, and 2 tsp toasted sesame oil to make the glaze. Reserve half the glaze for serving; use the other half for basting.

  3. 3

    Place the wings in a zip-lock bag or bowl and toss with a few tablespoons of the basting glaze. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375 degrees F). Clean and oil the grates.

  5. 5

    Grill the wings over indirect heat for 20-22 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  6. 6

    During the last 4 minutes, move the wings over direct heat and brush generously with the basting glaze, turning once to caramelize on both sides.

  7. 7

    Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the reserved glaze. Garnish with 4 thinly sliced scallions and 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Grilled Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Grilled Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Grilled Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubling on the grill just takes more surface area; keep the heat zones the same.
