Description

Crispy baked chicken wings tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-Sriracha sauce. A perfect game-day appetizer or weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lbs (1361 g) chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp kosher/coarse salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) pure honey
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) sriracha
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • freshly chopped parsley or chives or garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) with rack on upper middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil and grease the foil.
  2. Thoroughly dry chicken wings with paper towels.
  3. In a large Ziploc bag, combine garlic powder, pepper, salt, baking powder, and cornstarch. Mix well. Add chicken wings and shake to coat.
  4. Place wings in a single layer on the foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until browned and crisp.
  5. While chicken is baking, make the sauce. In a small pot, melt butter. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Transfer baked wings to a large serving platter.
  7. When ready to serve, pour desired amount of sauce over wings, tossing to coat. Save some sauce for serving on the side, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while chicken is crisp.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, increase baking time by 5-10 minutes, or until desired crispness is achieved.
  • To reduce the spiciness, decrease the amount of sriracha or add a touch of brown sugar to balance the heat.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F (177°C) oven for best results.
