These crispy chicken wings are coated in a sticky honey sriracha glaze that balances sweet and spicy flavors perfectly. Quick and easy to make, they are a crowd-pleaser ideal for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup honey (85 g)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss wings in a large bowl with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange wings in a single layer, skin side up.
  4. Bake wings for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. While wings bake, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Stir occasionally until the mixture bubbles gently and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl and pour warm glaze over them. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Return glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for another 5-7 minutes at 425°F (220°C) to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Let wings rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set.

Notes

Use baking powder (not baking soda) to achieve crispy skin. Dry wings thoroughly before coating. Avoid overcrowding wings on the rack to maintain crispiness. If wings brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and verify sriracha is gluten-free. Reheat leftovers in oven or broiler to keep skin crispy; avoid microwaving.
