Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create your own batch of Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Place the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps them cook evenly.
4. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and melted butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey sriracha sauce over them. Toss until the wings are fully coated with the sauce.
7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot.

Tip from my kitchen: If you like your wings extra crispy, broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking. But keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
