Gluten-Free Honey Sriracha Wings

Last week I was on a mission to use all of the random things in my deep freeze.  Normally when I make wings, it's for some kind of football watching occasion and I make them in vast quantities.  Why there was one little lonely stray package of wings and drumettes in my freezer we'll never know.  I decided it was the perfect amount for a quick weeknight meal.  My pal Michaela over at An Affair From the Heart posted these Honey Sriracha Wings a while back.  We love wings and we love Sriracha Sauce, so I knew right away the recipe would make an appearance in my kitchen.  I used gluten-free flour because of the whole gluten allergy thing (insert eye roll) and the result was fabulous.  Since gluten-free flour is usually a combination including rice flour, the resulting crust had an almost tempura-like texture.  Fried up super crisp and tossed in the Honey Sriracha sauce.  I served them up with the traditional celery and carrots with my Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing, and a side of sweet potato fries.  It was a really fun and flavorful meal, and I will definitely be repeating this recipe for game watching in the future!

{Gluten-Free} Honey Sriracha Wings

adapted from: An Affair From the Heart

2 pounds chicken wings and drumettes
1 cup Gluten-Free flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium white onion, minced
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2/3 cup Sriracha Sauce
1/2 cup honey
oil for frying

Prepare the sauce by heating 2 tablespoons oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.  Add the onions and garlic and cook until tender.  Add rice vinegar, Sriracha Sauce and honey.  Bring to a low boil, then reduce to simmer for a few minutes until sauce is thickened.  Allow sauce to cool slightly, then puree with an immersion blender until smooth.  Prepare the wings by washing them and patting dry with paper towels.  Dredge in gluten-free flour.  Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F.  Fry wings in oil about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and done.  Place on a paper towel lined platter to absorb any excess oil.  Toss in Honey Sriracha Sauce.  Serve with Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing.
