Baked Honey Sriracha Wings Recipe

Baked Honey Sriracha Wings

Baked Honey Sriracha Wings are the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and sticky. These wings are baked until crispy, then coated in a delicious honey Sriracha glaze that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (for crispy wings)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Honey Sriracha Glaze:

• 1/4 cup Sriracha sauce
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional, for a zesty kick)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows the wings to bake evenly and get crispy.

2. Prepare the wings:

• Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them get crispier in the oven.
• In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

3. Bake the wings:

• Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.

4. Make the Honey Sriracha glaze:

• While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, butter, and lime juice (if using). Stir the sauce until it’s smooth and well combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Add sesame oil for extra flavor, if desired.

5. Toss the wings in the glaze:

• Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer the wings to a large bowl, pour the Honey Sriracha glaze over the wings, and toss until they’re fully coated.

6. Garnish and serve:

• Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation. Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce (like ranch or blue cheese) or enjoy them as-is!

Tips:

• Extra Crispy Wings: For even crispier wings, after tossing with the glaze, you can return them to the oven for another 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
• Adjust the heat: If you want the wings milder, reduce the amount of Sriracha or add more honey for extra sweetness.

These Baked Honey Sriracha Wings are sure to be a hit at any gathering, offering just the right balance of spicy heat and sweet honey goodness. Enjoy!
