Sriracha Chicken Wings
1 cup flour
1/2 cup onion powder
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup paprika, smoked if available
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 pounds chicken wings
2 cups sriracha (Thai chili sauce)
1 cup honey

To make the wings: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine all the ingredients for the wings in a bowl. Place wings in the bowl and toss until wings are coated in the mixture. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. In small batches, saute the wings until crispy. Place the wings on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
Top with, or dip in, the sriracha sauce.
To make the sriracha sauce: Combine the sriracha and honey together. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature before using.
Serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer.
