Crispy, sticky, and perfectly spicy sweet chicken wings baked to perfection with a honey Sriracha glaze. This easy recipe delivers flavorful wings without the greasy mess of frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ¼ cup (85g) honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

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 dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the 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, spaced slightly apart.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are golden brown and crispy.
  6. While wings bake, prepare the glaze by combining honey, Sriracha, melted butter, and lime juice in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until warm and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl and pour the warm glaze over them. Toss gently to coat every wing evenly.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or celery sticks.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder (not baking soda) for the best crispy skin. Baking on a wire rack allows air circulation and fat drainage. Toss wings in warm glaze quickly to avoid soggy skin. For extra crispness after glazing, broil for 3-5 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning.
