Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
  • Thinly sliced green onions (optional garnish)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
  • Lime wedges (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
  2. If needed, separate wings into drumettes and flats; discard or save tips for stock.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place oven rack in upper-middle position.
  4. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Set a wire rack on top and lightly coat with oil or nonstick spray.
  5. In a large bowl, mix baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  6. Add wings and toss thoroughly to coat.
  7. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each piece.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip each wing. Bake another 15–20 minutes, until deeply golden and crispy (total 40–45 minutes).
  9. While wings bake, combine honey, sriracha, melted butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, and vinegar in a small saucepan.
  10. Simmer glaze over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  11. Taste glaze and adjust honey or sriracha as desired.
  12. Transfer baked wings to a clean bowl. Pour warm glaze over wings and toss to coat.
  13. For extra sticky wings, return to oven for 2–3 minutes to set glaze.
  14. Transfer wings to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro, and lime wedges if desired.
  15. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Pat wings very dry for maximum crispiness. Baking powder (not soda) is key for crispy skin. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust sriracha for desired spice level. Garnishes are optional but add flavor and presentation. Wings can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or air fryer. For extra sticky glaze, simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry.
