These crispy sriracha honey chicken wings are a quick and easy 5-ingredient snack with a perfect balance of spicy heat and sweet honey glaze, baked to golden perfection and served with creamy ranch dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes (fresh or thawed)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup store-bought ranch dressing (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt until evenly coated.
  4. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer, skin side up, without crowding.
  5. Bake the wings for about 25 minutes, then flip and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the wings bake, whisk together 3 tablespoons sriracha and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
  7. Remove the wings from the oven and place them in a clean bowl. Pour the glaze over and toss gently but thoroughly to coat every wing.
  8. Serve the wings immediately with a generous bowl of creamy ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

Pat wings very dry before coating to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to raise skin pH for browning. Space wings apart on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. Flip halfway through baking for even crisping. Toss wings in glaze immediately after baking while hot for best coating. For extra sticky wings, toss again before serving. Adjust heat by varying sriracha or adding soy sauce for balance. Can be made in air fryer at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway.
