Ingredients
  

FOR THE CHICKEN WINGS
  • 2 pounds chicken wings separated and wing tips removed
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne optional, for extra spicy
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Extra seasonings as desired
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
FOR THE HONEY-SRIRACHA SAUCE
  • 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce or use up to 2 tablespoons, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or use lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or use 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Method
 

PREP THE WINGS
  1. Pat the wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Rub the wings with baking powder and the blend of seasonings.
  3. OPTIONAL: Refrigerate the wings for at least 1 hour to further dry the skins for crispier results.
FOR BAKED CHICKEN WINGS
  1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Arrange the wings on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
  2. Increase oven heat to 425 degrees F. Flip the chicken wings and bake for another 30 minutes, or until cooked through and the skins are crispy.
FOR GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS
  1. Heat a lightly oiled grill to medium heat. Grill the wings for 20 minutes, turning halfway through, and monitor to prevent overcooking.
FOR THE HONEY-SRIRACHA SAUCE
  1. Whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and salt to taste in a small pot over medium-low heat.
  2. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
  3. Gently whisk in the butter until melted and the sauce slightly thickens.
  4. Brush the wings with the sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

Spice Level: I often play around with the cayenne and Sriracha amounts; sometimes I add a little extra cayenne if I'm feeling bold, or dial back the Sriracha
