Notes

Substitutions & Tips:

  • Instead of using Sriracha, use your favourite or preferred hot sauce. 
  • Make it peanut-free: use almond butter, tahini or a preferred nut or seed butter.
  • Make it spicier: increase the amount of Sriracha by 1/2-1 tbsp. This may require the wings to be baked for an extra minute or two, depending on how crispy you want them.
  • Make it less spicy: reduce the amount of Sriracha by 1-2 tsp. Whatever amount of Sriracha you remove.
  • Make it a gluten-free dish by using gluten-free soy sauce.
