Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup honey (raw or local recommended)
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, sesame seeds

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 dry the chicken wings with paper towels and trim any excess skin or wing tips if desired.
  3. In a large bowl, mix baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss wings thoroughly in this mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer, skin side up, without touching.
  5. Bake wings for 35 minutes, flipping them over after 20 minutes. Wings should be golden brown and crispy.
  6. While wings bake, prepare the glaze by combining honey, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), and lime juice in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring frequently until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
  7. Brush the honey sriracha glaze generously on both sides of the wings.
  8. Broil the glazed wings for an additional 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning, to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Remove wings from the oven, brush any remaining glaze, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly for maximum crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, for the dry coating to avoid bitterness. Glaze wings only at the end to prevent burning. Watch wings closely when broiling as the glaze can burn quickly. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. If glaze thickens too much, gently warm before applying.
