Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds whole chicken wings or wingettes and drumettes separated
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or avocado oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the wings skin-side up on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to allow air circulation.
- Bake the wings for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While wings bake, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
- Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the warm honey-Sriracha glaze over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Optional: Place glazed wings back on the wire rack and broil for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the glaze, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Let the wings rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the glaze to thicken.
Notes
Use room temperature wings and let them rest uncovered in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking for extra crispiness. Avoid glazing before baking to prevent burning. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Reheat leftovers in a hot oven on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
