Grilled Thai Honey Sriracha Wings
SERVES 10 to 12

 

What you’ll need:

  • ½ cup sriracha sauce
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, plus 1 bunch for garnish
  • 5 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish

And what to do with them:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Reserve half of the marinade to use later on; do not mix raw chicken marinade with anything you use later on.
  2. Add the chicken wings to half of the marinade. Store in fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. Preheat the grill. Shake the excess sauce off the wings (discarding marinade) and grill, 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through, to a crispy brown finish.
  4. Place the chicken wings on a serving platter, and pour the remaining half of the marinade on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds, and serve.

Make it an all-day event! In between grilling and eating, take the time to play games in the yard, or even bring a deck of cards to the table. Enjoy the sunshine and some quality time with Dad. It’s the best gift of all!
