These grilled chicken wings feature a crispy skin with a sticky, spicy-sweet honey sriracha glaze, perfect for quick cookouts or casual dinners. The recipe balances smoky char with bold flavors for an addictive taste experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes, patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Pat wings dry with paper towels and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Sprinkle baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over wings. Toss to coat and let rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Whisk together honey, sriracha, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust heat or sweetness if desired.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). For charcoal, spread coals evenly for direct heat.
  5. Place wings skin-side down on grill grates. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until crispy and slightly charred.
  6. Flip wings and grill for another 5-6 minutes on the other side.
  7. Brush wings generously with honey sriracha glaze. Continue grilling 2-3 minutes per side, basting once more.
  8. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Transfer wings to a platter, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly for crispiness. Use baking powder (not baking soda) to raise skin pH and crisp skin. Avoid overcrowding grill for even cooking. Glaze wings near the end to prevent burning sugars. Let wings rest 5 minutes before serving. For oven method, bake at 425°F for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, then broil 2-3 minutes with glaze.
