Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This ensures crispy skin.

Step 3

Toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Place the wings on the rack in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.

Step 5

Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, butter, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 8

Pour the sweet and spicy sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Place the coated wings back on the wire rack and return them to the oven for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
