Description

These sweet and spicy chicken wings are juicy, tender, and coated in a sticky glaze that balances sweetness and heat, making them the ultimate crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, garlic powder, ginger, and black pepper.
  3. Place the wings in a large bowl, pour half of the sauce over them, and toss until fully coated.
  4. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top, arranging the wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. In the last 10 minutes, brush the remaining sauce over the wings and bake a little longer for the sticky glaze.
  6. Once golden brown, sprinkle with sesame seeds if using and serve.

Notes

Pat the wings dry before baking for crispy skin. Use a rack for even cooking. Adjust spice levels to your preference.
