Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons sriracha
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 3

Place the seasoned wings on the grill. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking, until the wings are golden brown and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 4

While the wings are grilling, prepare the sweet and spicy glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth, then simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 5

Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Optional: Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken Wings!
