Lately I have been trying to pad my holiday appetizer arsenal and it is always fun to have a few unexpected gems up your sleeve. These Baked Honey and Sriracha wings, inspired by a popular Food Network recipe, definitely dazzle and work great for any get-together. The spice is balanced out by the honey creating a nice sweet, spicy, and salty combination. Like things extra spicy? Just taste the sauce before tossing it with the wings and add as much spice as you like. You can also double the sauce and serve some on the side for dipping. When I serve these I like to pair them with some sliced jicama, cucumbers, and snap peas.
