Print Recipe

A simple and flavorful recipe for crispy baked chicken wings coated in a sticky, sweet, and spicy honey sriracha glaze. Perfectly crispy without frying and ready in under 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove 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 on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, spacing them so they don’t touch.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip each wing and bake for another 20 minutes until deep golden and crispy.
  6. While wings bake, mix honey, Sriracha, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Remove wings from oven once cooked through (internal temperature 165°F or 74°C) and toss immediately in the honey sriracha sauce until fully coated.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Use baking powder (not baking soda) for crispy skin. Dry wings thoroughly before seasoning. Bake on a wire rack to allow air circulation. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning. Sauce wings while hot to ensure the glaze sticks well. Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming.
