These crispy sweet and spicy honey sriracha chicken wings feature a perfect balance of sticky sweetness and spicy kick with a crunchy skin, ideal for parties or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joints
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons honey (preferably raw or local)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • Juice of half a lime (optional)
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings skin-side up on the wire rack, spacing them so they are not touching.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the skin is golden and crisp.
  5. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce by combining honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and melted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Warm gently until smooth and glossy. Finish with fresh lime juice if using.
  6. When wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating with baking powder for maximum crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to avoid bitterness. Flipping wings halfway through baking is crucial for even cooking. For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 375°F to maintain crispiness.
