Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for heat)
- 1 tsp sriracha or hot sauce (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top. - Season the Wings:
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange them on the prepared baking rack in a single layer. - Bake the Wings:
Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy. - Make the Sauce:
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and sriracha (if using). Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. - Toss the Wings:
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated. - Serve:
Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy immediately.
