Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings (whole or separated into flats and drumettes)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (freshly cracked if possible)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional garnishes toasted sesame seeds, chopped fresh cilantro, thinly sliced green onions

Method
 

  1. Rinse and thoroughly pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings with paper towels. Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the wings. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly. If possible, let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Combine 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm gently, stirring frequently until smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Do not boil or burn the mixture.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking. If using a grill pan, preheat it on medium-high heat on the stove.
  5. Place the wings skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs until golden-brown with grill marks and a crispy texture.
  6. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the wings with the honey sriracha glaze. Flip and baste again to build layers of sticky flavor. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Check that the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F. If needed, move the wings to indirect heat and close the lid for a few minutes to finish cooking.
  8. Remove the wings from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. If desired, sprinkle with optional toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
  9. Arrange the wings on a platter and serve immediately.

Notes

Spice Level Adjustment: I've found that if you're not a huge fan of intense heat, you can easily dial back the sriracha to one tablespoon, or even half a
