Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split at joints and tips removed
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the wings: Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels—this step is crucial for crispy skin.
  2. Season the wings: Place the wings in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss thoroughly so all wings are evenly coated with seasoning and oil.
  3. Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crisp. For extra crunch, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  4. Make the glaze: While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, sriracha, and soy sauce. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in lime juice at the end for brightness.
  5. Coat the wings: Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey-sriracha glaze over the wings and toss until evenly coated. The glaze should cling to the wings and make them glossy and sticky.
  6. Serve: Arrange the wings on a platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with cooling ranch or blue cheese dip if desired.

Notes

Adjust the spice level by using less sriracha or more honey for a sweeter glaze.
You can grill the wings instead of baking for a smoky flavor.
The glaze can be made in advance and reheated before tossing with wings.
