Instructions
Marinade and Chicken Wings

  1. Place the split chicken wings into a large bowl or gallon size plastic bags. Add remaining ingredients. Toss until evenly coated. Marinate at least one hour in the fridge.

  2. Cook wings according to one of these methods:

    In the oven: Place the wings on a lined baking sheet. Place in a 425 degree oven for 40-45 minutes, flip them halfway through cooking. For extra crispy wings, turn the broiler on high for the last minute or 2 of cooking. Use a thermometer to make sure they are 170 degrees.

    In the Air Fryer: Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 18 minutes at 400 degrees. Flip the wings and set the air fryer for an additional 18 minutes at 400 degrees.

    In the smoker: Place the wings in a smoker set to 250 degrees for 2 and a half hours, flip them halfway through cooking.

  3. Serve with the Sriracha Bourbon Sauce.
