Description

A recipe for crispy chicken wings coated in a balanced sweet and spicy glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
  5. While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic.
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  7. Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until every piece is coated.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, pat the wings very dry with paper towels before seasoning.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level.
  • You can substitute maple syrup for honey if desired.
