Do you have that “go to” recipe you use for a football party or tailgate? Grilled Orange and Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings might just make the list for me!
🧑🍳 Ingredients
This recipe plays the natural sweetness of oranges and honey against the heat of the sriracha. The complex flavors of the peppers give just enough of a kick to make this fun!
Sriracha Sauce – The chili pepper and vinegar flavors work perfectly on wings. It is tempered by the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Orange Juice Concentrate – The cans of frozen concentrate are one of my favorite ingredients for marinades. Let it come to room temperature before use.
🍲 Preparation
Step One: Allow the can of orange juice concentrate to come to room temperature.
Step Two: Add the honey, sriracha, chili oil and ½ can of orange juice concentrate to a bowl. Mix well.
Step Three: Reserve ½ cup of the marinade for brushing on the wings. Place the remainder of the marinade in a Ziploc bag with your chicken.
Step Four: Place the Ziploc bag in a bowl (in case of unexpected leaks) and set it in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
🔥 Grilling Instructions
Step One: Heat the grill to 350 degrees.
Step Two: Grill for six minutes on each side.
Step Three: In the last few minutes, brush on the reserved marinade (not what was in the Ziploc bag). This will create a bit of a glaze for the wings.
💡 Recipe Tips
Substitute the orange concentrate for another flavor like lemonade or limeade. There is a really cool orange pineapple one out there as well. Play with it and have fun!
Don’t throw away the remaining ½ can of concentrate. Either make the Grilled Cinnamon Pineapple Slices or make a quick quart of orange juice!
