Soon after the holidays, we decided to convert our game room into a TV theater room, since the pool table gets very little, if any, use these days. Originally, I was pushing for placing a long farmhouse table in that room, so we could have lots of dinner parties, serving family-style meals. But with a vote of 1 out 4, I lost. Therefore, our game room will soon be another man cave…I mean TV theater room, where we can all sit in comfy reclining chairs and watch movies on our large flat screen TV.
Hopefully, our TV theater room will be completed in time for Superbowl. If it is, for sure we will be inviting friends over and for sure I will be making these spicy and delicious sriracha chicken wings + creamy ranch dressing. These sriracha chicken wings + creamy ranch dressing makes a refreshing updated change from buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing. Not only are sriracha chicken wings gluten-free, but they are baked not fried like the classic buffalo wings.
This recipe makes approximately 36 wings and takes very little time to make. The sriracha chicken wings do require marinating, but for only 30 minutes or in the refrigerator overnight (up to 12 hours). Next, you simply broil the marinated chicken wings and toss in a simple, easy to make sriracha sauce. For looks and a little bit more taste, I sprinkle chopped cilantro over my sriracha wings before serving. Seriously, there is so much flavor in these tiny spicy wings and the creamy ranch dressings adds a cooling flavor to your tongue.

Simply use vegan mayonnaise and replace buttermilk with a dairy-free alternative such as adding 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar per cup of plain dairy-free yogurt (allow to sit for 5 minutes to “sour” before using.[/dropshadowbox]
I sure hope our TV theater room gets completed in time for Superbowl, because I can’t wait to make these sriracha chicken wings + creamy ranch dressing again. Now that I think about it, our guest room hasn’t been used in ages either. Maybe I should push my hubby for converting the guest room into a huge walk-in closet. I’ll wait to bring that discussion up once our TV theater room has been finished.

Having read this I believed it was extremely enlightening.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put
this information together. I once again find myself personally spending
way too much time both reading and posting comments.
But so what, it was still worth it!
