Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
- In a large bowl, toss the dry wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Do not overcrowd the rack.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings over.
- Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings finish baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic powder.
- Heat the glaze mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place the hot, crispy wings in a large bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss quickly to coat them completely.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Using a wire rack allows air to circulate around the wings, which helps them crisp up on all sides.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer it for a few extra minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.
