Spicy Miso Glazed Chicken Wings

It’s time to grab those napkins.

I’ve been really into not-so clean, very messy foods lately. I’ve eaten more pizza, barbecue, and anything else you can imagine that leaves your clothes stained with the first bite over the past few weeks than I ever have before. My eating habits tend to reflect my overall stress level and since it’s been on the rise over recently, I am all about the messiest foods I can get my hands on. 

These sticky miso wings are exactly what I’ve been craving lately. You won’t mind that your face is covered in sauce when you start eating them. In fact, you’ll probably want to dive into a vat of the sauce and eat your way out with a mountain of chicken wings. Or a straw. You know, whatever works.

I love that these wings aren’t the typical spicy buffalo wings with blue cheese. Instead they are sweet and savory, with a little tang from the miso and brightness from the fresh limes (which I always use liberally because I am in LOVE with acidity right now – what’s with me lately?!).

As I found out after eating the first wing, it’s impossible not to suck the bones dry…

Spicy Miso Glazed Chicken Wings

Sticky, spicy, and tangy wings flavored with miso and Sriracha will beat out those hum-drum buffalo wings any day.
