Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will ensure they crisp up in the oven.
In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken wings, tossing the wings to coat them evenly.
Arrange the wings on the prepared rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Flip the wings over and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, butter, and lime juice. Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce is well combined. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy these out-of-this-world wings!
