Description
A crowd-pleasing, sticky, and spicy chicken wing recipe that requires only a few simple ingredients. Perfect for game day or any gathering, these wings are baked to crispy perfection and tossed in a sweet and savory sriracha honey glaze.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pounds chicken wings (party style, drumettes and flats)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 cup sriracha sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a large bowl with vegetable oil and seasoning salt until lightly coated.
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is golden brown and crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While wings bake, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sriracha, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, and melted butter. Stir constantly until smooth and bubbling (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Remove crispy wings from the oven. Place them in a large bowl and pour the warm glaze over them. Toss vigorously with tongs until every wing is coated.
- Return sauced wings to the wire rack and bake for another 5 minutes to set the glaze. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
Dry wings thoroughly before baking to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and prevent soggy bottoms. Warm the sauce before tossing to help it adhere. Do not overcrowd the pan. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil or coconut oil. For extra heat, add cayenne pepper.
