Grilled Sriracha Chicken Wings

We posted this great recipe quite a while ago before Sriracha became such a popular sauce. If you like spicy wings, this will become one of your favorites. My son loves these wings. These are great and not too hot, a nice exotic sweet hot.

Sriracha Marinade for Grilled Chicken Wings

2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce 

1 Tablespoon Sriracha Chile Sauce*

2 Tablespoons Oil, Olive or Canola

Marinate overnight or at least 4 hours.

Combine the wings with the marinade in refrigerate.

Heat the grill to high heat, turn heat down to medium place wings on grill. Keep an eye on them for flare, when golden turn. When both are nicely marked move to rack or indirect heat. Cook until golden.  When done remove from fire and place on serving plate or platter. Top the grilled chicken wings with the sauce below!

Make extra because these will go fast!

Well, these will light your fire, I get a craving for these when I haven't had my chile fix for a while. Feel free to cut back on the chiles here, or substitute serrano or jalapeno chilies for the habaneros. 

By the way, habanero chiles are one of the hottest chiles in the world, do not take them lightly. Most recipes will tell you to wear gloves, but the most important thing is do not rub your eyes or touch anything that you do not want to burn until after you have washed your hands thoroughly. 

Jerk Marinade

5 scallions, chopped

6 large garlic cloves, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1 fresh Scotch bonnet or habanero chiles (for the very brave 2), stemmed, seeded and chopped. For a milder version try serrano chiles.

3 Tablespoons soy sauce

4 Tablespoons olive oil
