Honey Teriyaki Chicken Wings - 13 Chicken Wings Recipes

I do love Chicken Wings!

And these are just about as good as they get.

Fried first to insure a crisp skin.

Then flavored with a sauce that is honey sweet, with Earthy complex Teriyaki Asian flavors and all spiced up with a bit of Red Heaven - Sriracha Sauce (The red Rooster hot sauce).

And finally, baked to a crisp and slightly caramelized final product.

Worthy of the finest bar snack menu.
Worthy to serve to your best buds for half time of the greatest game of your life.

Just a quick tip, these can easily become a terrific dish to take for a tailgate party.  Once sauced and crisped up, dump into a crock pot and off you go.  They will lose a bit of crispness in the waiting, but are still wonderful.

You can also add these to a tailgating menu.  Especially if you have a grill.  Simply cook them as directed through step 8 below... That is, flour, fry and sauce the wings.  Then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and store in an ice chest (no ice) until ready to finish cooking.  Then set your grill for indirect heat (Coals on one side, no heat source under the opposite side) and use your grill as an oven for the final step of crisping and caramelizing the sauce on the wings.

You will be the hit of the tailgate party!

OK... Here's what I did...
