Honey Sriracha Glazed Chicken Wings

I've had so many variations of chicken wings, but I must say that Honey-Sriracha wings are in my top 3. The sweetness from the honey, and the kick from the sriracha gives a flavor similar to spicy honey barbeque. These chicken wings are pretty easy to make, and they are a great treat on game days! 

Ingredients:

• Vegetable or peanut oil
• 2 lbs chicken wings
• a stick of unsalted butter
• 1/3 cups of sriracha sauce
• 1/4 honey
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 lime

Tips Before Frying:

The more wings you put into the pan the more heat gets taken away. Therefore, add just enough chicken wings for one layer, but make sure to not overcrowd them!


Preparation:

• Cut the chicken wings so that the wing and the drumstick are separated. Rinse chicken under water and pat dry. Lightly season with salt.

Instructions:

1. Fill a wide  pan with about 1 1/2″ of oil. On med-high, heat to 350°F. Preheat oven to 200°F.

2. When oil is hot, fry chicken wings in batches.  Fry the chicken wings for about 5 minutes, flip them, then fry for another 5 minute or so. As each batch finishes, place on foil on a baking pan, and place in oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the chicken wings.

3. Now we're going to do some multi-tasking. While frying the chicken wings, melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add sriracha, honey, salt, and lime juice, then stir to combine.  Keep warm over low heat.

4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked chicken wings with the sriracha-honey mixture, so that the chicken wings get coated evenly. 

Costs:

• Vegetable or peanut oil
• 2 lbs chicken wings- $4
• a stick of unsalted butter- $0.18
• 1/3 cups of sriracha sauce- $2.14 for a bottle
• 1/4 honey
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 lime- $0.33

Approximate Total Cost: 8 wings, 8 drum sticks = 16 pieces for about $6
