- Reduce heat to simmering and add BBQ sauce and Pepsi/Coke or 4 Tbsp honey.
- Add 2 Tbsp Sriracha and any seasoning to taste.
- Stir well to mix and simmer or reduce till thicken before remove from heat.
- When all the baked wings ready, carefully dip and turn each wing into the sauce to create an even sauce layer.
- Place the wing back onto baking pan/rack, repeat for remaining wings.
- Bake for 10 more minutes until all the sauce layer bubbling, caramelizing and stained into the chicken skin.
- Carefully remove from oven, sprinkle with some sesame or so for decoration.
- Serve as is with some clam dipping sauce and celery stalk or work with your favorite mashed potato. Make a nice appetizer or small entree for fours.
