Smoky Honey Sriracha Wings

Updated: Apr 13, 2023


I realized that I'd never shared this recipe before. This is my go-to wings recipe for every occasion or whenever I am craving some sticky spicy wings. The ingredient list may seem long, but the recipe is pretty easy and simple.



Just sit the wings in the brine for 12 to 48 hrs. Combine all the ingredients of the rub while waiting for the brine and allow the oven to do the job. You can prepare the sauce while baking the wings. It is pretty straightforward.



You can add equal parts honey and sriracha according to your palate and preference. I am a little bit of a wuss as you can see that I use a 1:2 ratio. Be sure to use the best honey that you can find and afford, and not some man-made syrup. You can use maltose or maple syrup too. But you'll have to change the name of this dish.
