Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Place the seasoned wings on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the wings are golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the wings are grilling, prepare the sweet and spicy glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth, then simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Optional: Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings!
