Sriracha Wings is a quick and easy beginner recipe.  This is the same as Buffalo wings albeit with a different sauce.  The sauce for Buffalo wings is basically just hot sauce with melted butter. In this recipe, we are using Sriracha sauce.  It is so easy to cook your own sriracha wings that you might not ever order them again.

The sriracha wings get their heat from Sriracha sauce, a Thai hot sauce that many people say is their favorite in the world.  Although there are many types of sriracha sauce that you can use for sriracha wings, my personal favorite is the Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce.  It is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt.  It is named after the coastal city of Si Racha, in Chonburi Province of eastern Thailand, where it may have been first produced for dishes served at local seafood restaurants.  Sriracha is also eaten in soup, on eggs and burgers. Jams, lollipops, and cocktails have all been made using the sauce, and sriracha-flavored potato chips have been marketed.  The Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce is the most common variety that is served in almost all Vietnamese Pho restaurants in the Philippines.  Click on the image below for more details:

The Huy Fong Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce is quite difficult to source where I live though.  It is very rare to see it in the grocery shops that I frequent.  I am pretty sure it is readily available in Metro Manila though.  Luckily, I discovered that I could order it online in Lazada so I don’t have any problems anymore.  Click HERE to check it out.

The secret to Sriracha Wings is perfect deep frying.  And nothing beats a cast iron wok to do the job.  Below is what I use:

If you don’t have a cast iron wok yet, I suggest you get one.  If you are to lazy to shop (just like me), you can get them HERE or HERE.

The Sriracha Wings is perfect for a meal.  But it also makes a good Beer Match, what we call in the Philippines as pulutan.  Pulutan is food or snacks provided as an accompaniment to alcoholic drinks.  See this dictionary definition.  Another dish great as pulutan is the Beef Salpicao which you can view HERE.
