Hot wings may be a game day staple, but I’m ready to give traditional buffalo the boot. And I’d be willing to bet that these finger lickin’ wings will be the real Super Bowl winner. Combine them with cheesy cauliflower dip and a crowd pleasing cocktail for a top notch party spread.
Baked chicken wings are a healthier alternative to the deep-fried variety so it’s time to bone-up on how to add flavor with a spicy Sriracha sauce. If you’re not familiar with Sriracha, it’s a type of Thai hot sauce made with red chili and garlic. It’s gained somewhat of a cult following in the past few years, and people are putting it in everything from mac & cheese to popcorn. So why not wings?
And these sweet and spicy wings did not disappoint. But if you’re a pansy when it comes to spiciness you can dial down the Sriracha to just 2 tablespoons.
