Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Wings Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by seasoning raw chicken wings with salt, pepper, and neutral oil before baking them at a high temperature to achieve crispiness without frying. While the wings cook, a sauce is prepared by combining melted butter with sriracha, creating a creamy yet spicy glaze.
Once baked, the wings are tossed in the sriracha butter sauce to evenly coat them in flavor. The heat from the sriracha complements the richness of the butter and the crispy skin of the wings, making a classic buffalo-style dish with a spicy twist. Adding cilantro or parsley as garnish introduces a fresh herbal note to the plate.
This dish can be served immediately as a snack, appetizer, or casual main course. The baking method reduces oil usage compared to frying yet retains appealing crisp texture.
Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup sriracha

- While the wings are baking prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sriracha and whisk to combine.
