Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Optional sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp Chopped green onions for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching to allow for even cooking and crisping.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, make the spicy Sriracha sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 7
Once melted, stir in the Sriracha sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 8
When the wings are finished baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the Sriracha sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the saucy wings to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy these spicy, flavorful Sriracha chicken wings!
