Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections
- Honey Sriracha Glaze:
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pinch sesame seeds, or as desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Toss the wings in the spice mixture until evenly coated.
- Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Bake the wings for 30–40 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Once the wings are done, toss them in the honey sriracha glaze until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, sweet, and spicy chicken wings!
Notes
- Ensure wings are dry before coating with the spice mixture for maximum crispiness.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to your desired level of spice.
- If you don’t have a wire rack, you can bake the wings directly on the baking sheet, but a rack helps the wings cook evenly and become extra crispy.
- For a milder version, reduce the sriracha sauce and increase the honey.
