Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This ensures they crisp up nicely in the oven.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching each other for maximum crispiness.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the wings are baking, prepare the zingy sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, lime juice, and butter. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Once the wings are fully cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the prepared sauce over them. Toss until the wings are completely coated in the sauce.
Garnish the wings with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
