Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Hot Wings

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
 
sriracha-hot-wings-recipe
Who doesn't love hot wings? Especially during football season when tailgating is king. These Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Hot Wings are a twist on the classic Buffalo Style Hot Wings that are packed with intense flavor and will have your guests coming back for more!
 
Sriracha is a Thai style hot sauce, also known as “rooster sauce” because of the rooster on the front of the bottle. It's made from sun-ripened chili peppers, sugar, garlic, vinegar, and salt. The familiar reddish orange bottle with the distinctive bright green bottle cap graces many culinary cabinets from chefs to the everyday home cook. It's one of my favorite sauces to add to almost every meal, from scrambled eggs to sandwiches and popcorn.

For these wings, I added a generous ½ cup of Sriracha to the marinade for a good amount of heat. After marrying with the other ingredients and caramelizing after cooking, it turned out to mellow the heat a bit. However, if you're not one for a lot of heat, feel free to reduce the amount in the recipe or omit it and serve the Sriracha on the table as a dipping sauce.

Here's some other uses for Sriracha, from Nermo:
  • Whisk into mayo for a powerful sandwich spread on roast beef, pork or poultry.
  • Combine with ketchup and dip your tater tots.
  • Drizzle over a slice of pizza to spice it up.
  • Hot Salt (great on the rim of a margarita or on edamame): 1 T. Sriracha mixed with ¼ c. kosher salt, dried.
  • Add to raw ground meat when making burgers or sausage.
  • Mix into melted butter and pour over popcorn.
  • Make cocktail sauce (essentially Bloody Mary paste, but so good): 1-2 parts Sriracha, 5 parts ketchup, 1 part horseradish, celery salt, pepper and lemon juice
  • Spice a Bloody Mary.
  • Blend into cream cheese on a bagel.
  • Chili-fy sloppy Joes.
  • Heat up hummus or other Mediteraenean food (falafel, gyro, kebab, dolmas, tzatziki, etc.)
  • Make meaner meatloaf by adding a couple tablespoons to the mix.
  • Make Thai peanut sauce.

    Hi Jennifer,

    These wings look awesome, I’m going to make them today. I was introduced to Sriracha when I moved to Maui in the late 90’s and have been using it like crazy every since. With your permission I’d like to post your recipe and my photos on my blog with a link to your recipe and cite you in the post, thanks..
