Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards creating these mouthwatering wings. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut in half
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
If you don’t have rice vinegar on hand, you can substitute it with apple cider vinegar for a slightly different tang. And if you’re out of sriracha, any hot sauce will do in a pinch!
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create your own batch of Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings:
- 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.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
- Place the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps them cook evenly.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
