Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g), preferably raw or wildflower
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (30 ml), adjust to heat preference
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each piece.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. While wings bake, prepare the glaze by warming honey, sriracha, rice vinegar, and olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened (3-5 minutes). Avoid boiling.
  7. Once wings are crispy, transfer to a large bowl and toss gently with the warm glaze until fully coated.
  8. Serve immediately for best crunch or keep warm in the oven at 200°F (90°C) if needed.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder (not baking soda) to raise skin pH and create crunch. Flip wings halfway through baking for even crisping. Warm glaze gently to avoid burning honey. Toss wings in warm glaze immediately after baking for best coating. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwave.
