These sticky honey sriracha baked chicken wings are easy to make, perfectly balanced with sweet and spicy flavors, and baked to crispy perfection without frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings separated at the joint
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat dry 2 pounds (900 g) of chicken wings with paper towels to help the skin crisp up.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup (85 g) honey, 3 tablespoons sriracha, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil until smooth and well combined.
  4. Add the wings to the sauce bowl and gently toss until every piece is coated in the sticky mixture. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Place wings spaced out on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to allow air circulation and prevent sitting in excess liquid.
  6. Bake wings for 25 minutes. Halfway through, flip the wings and brush with any remaining sauce to build layers of sticky glaze.
  7. Broil the wings on high for 2-3 minutes for an extra sticky and caramelized finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove wings from oven and immediately sprinkle with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and freshly ground black pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before saucing to ensure crispy skin. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and prevent sogginess. Broil at the end for a sticky, caramelized finish. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers reheat well in the oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
