Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken wings
- 4 cups Flamin' Hot Cheetos pounded into breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
Honey Sriracha Glaze
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup sriracha
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to a medium high, 350-400 degree grate temperature.
- Place the Cheetos in batches in a large ziplock bag. After squeezing out the air, pound the Cheetos into panko or Italian size crumbs. I use a smooth meat mallet or rolling pin for this. Larger crumbs are less desirable as they do not adhere as well to the chicken.
- Dip a wing into the beaten eggs, then into a bowl with HALF the Cheetos crumbs in it before placing the wing on a well oiled grill grate NOT directly over the flame or coals.
- As you continue to dip the wings into the crumbs, the crumbs will start to become saturated and not stick as well. As this happens, add the reserved crumbs.
- Cook the wings indirectly with the grill lid closed for 45 - 60 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees and the crust reaches the desired level of crispiness.
- Whisk together the sauce ingredients and toss with the cooked wings before serving.
