Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes, skin-on
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (45 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
  • Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and pourable.
  4. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove wings from oven and brush a generous layer of the honey sriracha glaze on each wing. Return to oven for another 10 minutes.
  6. Brush another layer of glaze and broil on high for 2-3 minutes until glaze bubbles and caramelizes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Let wings rest for 5 minutes to set the glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly for crisp skin. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and prevent sogginess. Apply glaze in layers and watch broil step closely to avoid burning. Adjust sriracha amount to control heat level. Wings can be baked without a wire rack but will be less crispy.
