The Best... Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings image

Okay-so I stole this from Michael Symon, but they are so FREAKING good I had to share! The recipe appeared in Food and Wine magazine (February 2008). These are the best chicken wings I have ever had. There is a perfect amount of heat (for my taste) and the spices blend together perfectly! Please-don't be scared of the cinnamon. Never... be scared... of the cinnamon! This dish pairs well with Pippy's recipe for Mango Salad (helps with the heat from the Sriracha) http://www.recipezaar.com/24779.

Time P1DT30m

Yield 60 Wings, 7-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 lbs chicken wings, split
1/4 cup crushed coriander
1 teaspoon crushed cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sriracha chili sauce
12 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 limes, juice and zest of
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, mix the coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon, kosher salt and olive oil. Add split chicken wings and toss to cover completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Spread them wings on a few rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 30 minutes, until the wings are firm but not cooked all the way through. (Healthier Option: At this point, if you don't want to fry the wings, you can roast them for 1 hour longer, until they're golden and crispy.) Wash out your bowl. Add the Sriracha, butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice.
  • In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F.
  • Fry the wings in 4 or 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch; drain, shaking off the excess oil. If you like them crispy like we do, I say give 'em about 7 minutes. As each batch is finished, add the wings to the sauce and toss well. Transfer the wings to a platter, leaving the sauce in the bowl for the remaining batches. Recipe recommends serve hot-but I say they would be just as lovely cold!

These wings are the worst thing I've ever eaten. They were burnt and the sauce was inedible.

I didn't like these wings at all. The sauce was too spicy and the chicken was dry and tough.

These wings were just okay. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the chicken was a bit bland.

The sauce on these wings is amazing, but the chicken was a little overcooked. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

These wings were a bit dry for my liking. I think I would try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These wings are a little too spicy for my taste, but they're still really good. I would recommend using less sriracha sauce if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these wings were surprisingly good. The sauce was flavorful without being too hot.

These wings are amazing! I love the combination of sweet and spicy. The chicken is cooked perfectly and the sauce is to die for.

These wings were a hit at my party! They were so easy to make and everyone loved them. The sriracha sauce was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet.
