Ingredients

  • 5 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup chili-garlic sauce
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup sweet soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onions, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish

Directions

Cook's Note: Chili-garlic sauce and Sriracha sauce can be found in the ethnic foods aisle at your local supermarket or online.

Cut the chicken wings apart at the joints and discard the tips. Combine 6 cups water, 1/4 cup of the honey, 1/4 cup of the chili-garlic sauce and the salt in a large glass bowl. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Add the wings and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

To make the basting and dipping sauce, combine the remaining chili-garlic sauce, remaining honey, sweet soy sauce, Sriracha, low-sodium soy sauce, ginger and vinegar in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside half of the sauce for serving in order to avoid contamination.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Drain the wings and sprinkle them with sea salt and pepper. Grill the wings until golden, 15 to 20 minutes, turning as needed. When the wings reach the right color, continue cooking over indirect heat until they're at the desired doneness, then baste them with the sauce, turning as needed until the wings are glossy and well coated. Garnish the wings with the green onions and sesame seeds and serve with the reserved dipping sauce.

    Great Recipe! I used an indoor grill heating element on my stove, but realized there was not enough room to cook all of them in time, so instead I threw them all in the oven until they were cooked through, then put back on the grill and basted for a few minutes and covered with the remaining sauce. Here are a few tips that I found to be key in this recipe:

    1. Take the extra sauce and heat it in a pan, add some corn starch and you can create a thicker sauce that goes well over the wings once they are completely done, none of that watery sauce that goes all over the place.
    2. Guy doesn't show the recipe for the sweet soy sauce on this recipe, I actually own his book and his recipe for sweet soy sauce is as follows:

    1 cup soy sauce
    2 tablespoons sesame oil
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon minced ginger
    1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
    1/4 teaspoon wasabi powder

    The best wings ever! I usually don't care for any sauce on my grilled wings. But, I tried this recipe and WOW! Just tried exact recipe on some baby back ribs and they were delicious too.
    I love me some Guy Fieri!!
