Can I make these wings in the oven or air fryer instead of grilling?

Absolutely! Roast the marinated wings on a wire rack at 425°F for about 30-35 minutes (flipping halfway), or air-fry at 400°F for 18-20 minutes. You’ll still get fantastic texture and flavor.

How spicy are Honey Sriracha Wings?

The spice is definitely noticeable but balanced by honey and citrus. If you want less heat, use less Sriracha or add extra honey. You control the fire!

Can I prepare the sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the sauce up to two days ahead and store in the fridge. Gently reheat before tossing with hot wings.

What if I don’t like cilantro?

Feel free to skip it or substitute with thinly sliced green onions for a different kind of fresh note. The wings will still taste outrageously good.

Instructions

Marinate the Wings: In a large plastic freezer bag, combine the chicken wings, vegetable oil, ground coriander, garlic salt, and ground pepper. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Bring your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the Wings: Place the marinated wings on the grill. Grill for 18-20 minutes, turning the wings every 4 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
Prepare the Honey Sriracha Sauce: While the wings are grilling, melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the sriracha, honey, lime juice, and orange juice. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and fully combined. Optionally, stir in some chopped cilantro.
Toss and Serve: Remove the grilled wings from the heat. In a large bowl, toss the wings with the prepared sauce until well coated. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the wings overnight.
Adjust the amount of sriracha and honey to make the sauce spicier or sweeter to your taste.
If you don’t have a grill, you can roast the wings in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Garnish with extra cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
