Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure crispy wings.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier skin during baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients until well blended.
- Add chicken wings to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring each wing is evenly coated with the marinade. Let wings marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Arrange the marinated wings on the wire rack, ensuring they are not touching each other. This allows hot air to circulate and promotes even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the internal temperature of the wings with a meat thermometer. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. The wings will continue to crisp up during this time.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving. Serve hot with extra sriracha sauce on the side.
Tips
- Pat your chicken wings completely dry before marinating to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow hot air circulation, which helps achieve that coveted crispy exterior.
- Don't overcrowd the wings on the baking sheet - give them space to brown evenly.
- Marinate for at least 10-15 minutes to let the flavors penetrate the meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure wings are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Let wings rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow them to finish crisping up.
- For extra flavor, consider sprinkling sesame seeds or chopped green onions as a final garnish.
