- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
- Total Time: 30-35 minutes
- Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken wings in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that all the wings are coated evenly. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or for best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting later.
- Place the wings on the preheated grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the wings with the reserved marinade for an extra burst of flavor.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional) and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings.
Notes
Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level. Add more for an extra kick or reduce the amount for a milder flavor. For a sticky glaze, baste the wings with the marinade during the last few minutes of grilling. This will give them a glossy and caramelized finish. Pair them with a fresh salad or coleslaw for a complete meal and don’t forget to have plenty of napkins on hand. These wings are sure to be messy but oh-so-worth-it!
