Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon ghost pepper hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the dry mixture until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings on the wire rack, skin-side up. Ensure they are spaced out so they cook evenly.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the Dragon’s Breath sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 7

Stir in the sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and ghost pepper hot sauce. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the wings are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the Dragon’s Breath sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing to cool down the heat!
