These sticky honey sriracha grilled chicken wings feature a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors with a crunchy sesame seed finish, ideal for quick and easy grilling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joints, skin on
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Pat 2 pounds (900g) of chicken wings dry with paper towels. Lightly season with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup (85g) honey, 2 tablespoons sriracha, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Stir gently until warmed through and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid boiling. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Toast 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C). Place wings directly on grill grates and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even grill marks. Wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. In the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush wings generously with the honey sriracha glaze. Turn and brush multiple times to build a sticky, glossy coating. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Remove wings from grill, transfer to a serving plate, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top.

Notes

Pat wings dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Brush glaze in thin layers during the last 5 minutes of grilling to avoid burning. Keep grill lid closed for even heat and smoky flavor. For extra sticky wings, toss with reserved glaze after grilling but avoid overcoating. Toast sesame seeds lightly to enhance flavor. Oven baking alternative: bake at 425°F (220°C) for 40-45 minutes, glazing in last 10 minutes.
