Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Sriracha sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon minced garlic (approximately 3 cloves)

1 teaspoon ginger paste (or freshly grated ginger)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

Green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger paste, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Using a whisk, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended into a smooth marinade.

    Marinate the Wings: Introduce the chicken wings into the bowl with the marinade. Toss them gently until each wing is fully coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For more intense flavor, let the wings marinate overnight.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat, targeting around 350°F (175°C). For charcoal grills, ensure the coals are evenly spread out. If using a gas grill, close the lid while it heats up.

        Prepare the Grill Racks: To minimize sticking, lightly oil the grill grates. You can do this by soaking a paper towel in vegetable oil and using tongs to wipe it across the grates.

          Grill the Wings: Once marinated, take the wings out of the bowl, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Arrange the wings on the preheated grill. Grill them for 20-25 minutes, turning every few minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

            Glaze with Remaining Marinade: In the final 5 minutes of grilling, brush the wings with the remaining marinade for an extra layer of flavor. Continue to turn the wings periodically, applying glaze as desired.

              Check for Doneness: Ensure the wings have a crispy exterior and are fully cooked inside. If you prefer a crunchier finish, you can move the wings to a hotter section of the grill for a couple of minutes.

                Serve: Carefully transfer the wings from the grill to a serving platter. Garnish them with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an appetizing presentation.

                  Enjoy: Serve the wings hot and fresh with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese, on the side for an added zing!

                      Optional Presentation Tips: For a festive touch, serve the wings on a large wooden board, and arrange fresh cilantro or lime wedges around to enhance the colors and flavors.
