Make sticky and crispy honey sriracha chicken wings at home using a simple baking method for the best texture and sweet heat flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove 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. Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for crispiness.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and very crispy.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
  7. Bring the sauce mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  8. Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large, clean bowl.
  9. Pour the warm honey sriracha glaze over the wings. Toss gently but quickly until every wing is fully coated and sticky.
  10. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness and stickiness.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, cook wings at 380°F (195°C) for 18 minutes, shaking halfway, then toss with the sauce.
  • To reheat, place wings on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to re-crisp the skin before re-glazing if necessary.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce if needed for a gluten-free variation.
