• Serve the wings with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
• If you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of Sriracha sauce and add more honey to balance the flavors.
• Experiment with different garnishes such as cilantro or crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor.
• Make sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the wings from sticking.
