Orange-Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings

These sticky and yummy wings made with Sriracha and honey are that you don't want to miss every bit of them.

I love cooking chicken wings. If you click to browse the recipe index, you’ll find many chicken wing dishes already posted on this blog. What I love about cooking wings is that they can be turned into many tasty dishes without any difficulty.

My family is quite obsessed with chicken wings. If I add some more sauces, such as Sriracha sauce, the family would definitely love every bit of the dish. The mild hot taste of Sriracha works like a charm and makes the family wants more.

The other day I experimented with adding some orange zest and juice to cook wings with Sriracha sauce. Oh my goodness, they're so absolutely finger-licking good. The fragrance and sweetness of orange took the whole dish up a notch.

The wings were cooked until tender and absorbed all the flavours of the hot chilli sauce and seasonings. Another thing that I didn’t expect was that the orange fragrance drew everyone in the house to want dinner instantly.

Notes：

• Sriracha is a kind of mild chilli sauce, available at Asian grocers. I used the brand, Huy Fong Foods, with a rooster on the bottle. If you like hottest taste, feel free to add more of it.
• To get the best results, taste the orange to make sure it’s sweet enough before cooking with chicken wings.
