Sriracha Guava Chicken Wings

Sriracha+ Guava+ Chicken wings= What’s not to love? The chefs at the Beach Club restaurant at Aston Kaanapali Shores on Maui took three great tastes and combined them to taste even greater.

Ingredients:

  • 9 chicken wings
  • 11 oz Sriracha
  • 1 oz Guava Puree
  • 2 oz Franks Red Hot Sauce
  • ½ oz Butter
  • 3 oz Kula Cucumbers
  • 1 oz Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Pickling Spices
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 oz Buttermilk Dressing
  • ¼ oz Chopped Cilantro
  • ¼ Oz Chopped Green Onions
  • 1 Orchid Flower

Directions:

  • First, pickle the cucumbers: Mix the salt, sugar and spices in the vinegar. Bring to a boil and let cool down. When cold, add to the diced cucumbers. Let this chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  • Next, mix your sauce: Combine Franks Red Hot Sauce, Sriracha, guava puree and softened butter.
  • Time to get cooking: Rinse and pat the chicken wings dry, then season and deep fry. Use a thermometer to ensure they're cooked to perfection, at least 165-degress Fahrenheit. Place the wings on a plate and top with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve with a side sauce and the pickled cucumbers.
