Follow these steps to make chicken wings that are perfectly crispy on the outside and coated in a thick, sticky, sweet, and spicy honey sriracha glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top of the foil.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the skin is very crispy and golden brown.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. Combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small saucepan.
  7. Bring the sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
  8. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large, clean bowl.
  9. Pour about two-thirds of the sauce over the hot wings and toss quickly to coat them thoroughly. The heat from the wings will help the sauce adhere and become sticky.
  10. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping, or toss with the remaining sauce for maximum stickiness.

Notes

  • Do not skip the baking powder; it helps draw moisture from the skin, resulting in a crispier texture when baked.
  • Ensure the wings are in a single layer on the rack for even air circulation and crisping.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the sauce longer until it reaches a syrupy consistency before tossing.
