Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for spice)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow for even air circulation.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispiness.
Sprinkle the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the wings. Toss well to coat evenly.
Place the prepared wings on the wire rack in a single layer without overcrowding them. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the awesome sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sriracha (if using), butter, and vinegar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the awesome sauce over them. Toss gently to ensure each piece is well coated in the sauce.
Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, celery sticks, or carrot sticks on the side. Enjoy your Awesome Sauce Chicken Wings!
