These grilled honey sriracha chicken wings are a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, with a sticky glaze and a creamy blue cheese dip, ideal for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes, skin-on
  • ⅓ cup honey (113 g), preferably raw or mild variety
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled (120 g)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (120 g)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Toss the wings in the marinade, ensuring every piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F–400°F). If using charcoal, wait until coals are covered with white ash.
  5. Place wings skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 10–12 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs. Watch for flare-ups due to the honey glaze.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. While wings grill, mix crumbled blue cheese with sour cream or Greek yogurt and lemon juice. Stir until creamy but still chunky. Add salt, pepper, and chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  8. Arrange wings on a platter, garnish with extra chives if desired, and serve with the blue cheese dip on the side.

Notes

If glaze burns too fast, move wings to a cooler spot or reduce heat. Brush extra marinade on wings halfway through grilling for more flavor. Oven baking at 425°F for 40 minutes with a broil finish is a good alternative if no grill is available. Use tamari for gluten-free option. Blue cheese dip can be substituted with ranch or creamy yogurt cucumber dip.
