Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasonings:
- 2 lbs (907 g) chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Garnish:
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and position a wire rack on top, then heat the oven to 400°F.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly dry chicken wings, ensuring maximum crispiness.
- In a large mixing bowl, coat wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, creating an even seasoning layer.
- Spread wings across the wire rack in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding to promote even cooking.
- Roast wings for 45-50 minutes, rotating midway through cooking to achieve uniform golden-brown crispiness.
- During wing baking, craft the glaze by combining honey, sriracha, soy sauce, butter, and lime juice in a small saucepan.
- Simmer sauce over medium heat, stirring periodically until butter melts and ingredients integrate smoothly.
- Extract wings from oven once perfectly crisp and golden, then immediately immerse in prepared honey sriracha sauce.
- Toss wings thoroughly to ensure complete and even sauce coverage.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves for a vibrant finishing touch.
- Serve immediately while wings remain hot and sauce glistens.
Notes
- Pat chicken wings completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming during baking.
- Use aluminum-free baking powder for a lighter, crunchier coating that helps skin become extra crisp.
- Adjust sriracha quantity based on heat tolerance, allowing customization for spice-sensitive guests.
- Choose bone-in wings with skin for optimal texture and flavor development during roasting.
