Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) chicken wings, fresh or thawed, skin-on
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey, preferably raw or wildflower
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) soy sauce, low-sodium recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wire rack on the rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
  3. Arrange wings on the wire rack so they don’t touch. Bake for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through at 17 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  4. While wings bake, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a medium bowl.
  5. Remove wings from oven and toss them in the glaze to coat evenly.
  6. Return glazed wings to the wire rack and set oven to broil on high. Broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes. Avoid burning.
  7. Let wings rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat wings dry before seasoning for crispiness. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation. Watch broiler closely to prevent burning glaze. For extra sticky wings, toss in glaze twice. Adjust sriracha for heat preference. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
