Honey Sriracha chicken wings are crispy, juicy, and coated in a sweet and spicy glaze made from honey, Sriracha, and garlic. Baked or air-fried for a healthier twist, these wings are a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack that packs bold flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss them with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Place wings in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet, or in an air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  4. Bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, or air fry for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and butter. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Add lime juice if using.
  6. Remove wings from oven or air fryer and immediately toss in the warm honey Sriracha sauce until well coated.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For crispier wings, ensure they are thoroughly dry before coating with baking powder.
  • Use parchment under the wire rack for easier cleanup.
  • Adjust heat by modifying the amount of Sriracha or adding cayenne for extra spice.
  • Double the sauce for dipping or drizzling.
  • For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
