Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats (fresh or thawed if frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw or local honey preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and let air dry for 10 minutes if possible.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place the wings on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to allow air circulation.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deep golden brown and crispy. Optionally broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp further, watching closely to avoid burning.
  6. While wings bake, prepare the glaze by gently warming sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Do not boil.
  7. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl and toss with the warm sriracha honey glaze until fully coated.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispy skin. Use baking powder (not baking soda) to raise skin pH for better browning. Flip wings halfway through baking for even crispiness. Toss wings in glaze after baking to avoid soggy skin. Reheat leftovers in oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes to restore crispiness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and ensure baking powder is gluten-free. Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
