Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken wings
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup sriracha
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the 1.5 lb chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss them with the 0.5 cup flour and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately, about 350°F. Fry the wings in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per batch.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, stir together the 0.25 cup sriracha, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Taste and adjust with more honey if you prefer less heat.

  4. 4

    Drain the fried wings on paper towels, then toss them in the sauce until every wing is coated. Serve hot.

  5. 5

    Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped scallions if you have them.
