These crispy grilled honey sriracha chicken wings are quick, easy, and perfect for game day. They feature a sweet, spicy, and tangy glaze finished with a fresh cilantro lime punch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1/4 cup (85 grams) honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 large lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings. Split into flats and drumettes if not pre-cut.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Toss wings in the marinade until fully coated. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes if time allows.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F–400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly.
  5. Place wings on the grill, skin side down first. Cook for 8–10 minutes per side, turning every few minutes.
  6. Baste wings with extra honey sriracha sauce during the last 5 minutes of grilling to build a sticky glaze.
  7. Check for doneness by ensuring wings are golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Off the grill, toss wings with chopped cilantro, lime zest, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  9. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.

Notes

Pat wings dry before marinating to ensure crispiness. Use two-zone grilling if possible to avoid burning the glaze. Baste wings mostly in the last 5 minutes to prevent bitterness. Rest wings a few minutes before serving. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep skin crispy.
