Print Recipe

These crispy honey sriracha glazed chicken wings are baked to perfection with a sweet, spicy, and sticky glaze that delivers irresistible crunch and flavor without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes (fresh or thawed from frozen)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey (raw or regular)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add the wings to the dry mix, drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange wings skin-side up on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
  6. Bake wings for 25 minutes without opening the oven door.
  7. While wings bake, combine honey, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened (3-4 minutes). Do not boil.
  8. Flip the wings using tongs and bake for another 15 minutes until golden and crisp.
  9. Remove wings from oven and toss gently in the warm honey sriracha glaze to coat evenly.
  10. Place glazed wings back on the rack and bake for 5 more minutes to set the glaze.
  11. Let wings rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the glaze to thicken.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder (not baking soda) for the best crispy skin. Do not crowd the wings on the rack to avoid steaming. Glaze wings at the end to prevent burning the sugars. If wings start to smoke, briefly open the oven door to cool it down. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari and verify baking powder is gluten-free. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
