These Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings offer the perfect balance of sweet and heat with a crispness that lasts even after glazing. They are quick, easy, and perfect for game nights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) fresh whole chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup (85g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: thinly sliced green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the wire rack on the rimmed baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the wings and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, skin-side up, leaving space between each piece for air circulation.
  5. Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over using tongs and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). If needed, bake an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the glaze by combining honey, sriracha, melted butter, and lime juice in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Warm gently until smooth and well combined.
  7. Transfer the baked wings to a clean bowl and toss gently with the warm honey sriracha glaze to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use aluminum-free baking powder for best taste. Flip wings halfway through baking for even crispness. Toss wings in warm glaze immediately after baking to avoid sogginess. For gluten-free, verify baking powder and sriracha labels. Can be made in an air fryer at 400°F for 25 minutes, shaking halfway.
