Very tangy and good! I baked the wings with asian spiced salt, cut the soy sauce by 2 T., used lime instead of lemon juice, and increased the sriracha by 1 or 2 T. This sauce was awesome. We haven't had anything like it. It would be very good on grilled shrimp or as a dressing for an asian inspired salad.
