Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd them. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the hot sticky glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until fully combined and the sugar has dissolved. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sticky glaze over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Optional: For an extra caramelized finish, return the glazed wings to the oven on the wire rack and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
