Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your chicken wings cook evenly and become crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended and form a smooth marinade.
- Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the wings thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spicy honey mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This allows the heat to circulate around the wings, making them crispier.
- Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure there is space between each wing to promote even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip the wings over using tongs. This will help them brown evenly on both sides.
- Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You can check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the extra spicy honey sriracha chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
Tips
- Prep for Crispiness: Make sure to dry your chicken wings thoroughly before marinating. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy texture when baked.
- Marinate for Flavor: Allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the fridge to enhance the flavor. The longer they sit, the more delicious they become!
- Use a Wire Rack: Elevating the wings on a wire rack while baking allows hot air to circulate around them, ensuring they cook evenly and get extra crispy.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your wings in the last few minutes of baking. Ovens can vary, and you want to catch them just as they reach that perfect golden brown.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your spicy wings with a cooling dip, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing, to balance the heat and enhance the overall experience.
