Make these delicious Sriracha Honey Wings for your next gathering! Perfect for your party platter!
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs. chicken wings, thawed
- 1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Paprika
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
For the Sauce:
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1/3 cup Sriracha Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
- *optional sesame seeds for garnish
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2
Make the rub for the chicken by combining garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Coat wings evenly with rub and place on a foil-lined pan. As pictured above, I recommend using a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet for extra crispiness.
3
Bake for 20 minutes and turn wings. Bake for another 20-30 minutes until desired crispiness.
4
Combine ingredients for sauce and coat wings evenly. Serve wings as is or place wings back in oven so for an extra 10 minutes to allow sauce to caramelize.
5
Top with sesame seeds if desired.
I am obsessed with both crispy chicken wings and Sriracha sauce so this is a big winner in my house! The honey balances the heat from the hot sauce to perfection. You can also substitute the Sriracha Sauce with BBQ sauce for Honey BBQ wings if spicy isn’t your thing. Enjoy!

So I have a diff recipe and now this that both call for sesame oil and I went to the grocery store looking for it and couldn’t find it. Where abouts is it typically located? Thank you!
I find it most of the time by the Asian sauces and food in my store.
Trader Joe’s has it
Does anyone know what the Baking Powder does for the cooking process? Does it help the skin crisp up?
From what i understand it draws out moisture from the skin.
Here is a good explanation in this post. Also could work if you like to roast a whole chicken! I’m trying that next time.

from post – – you coat chicken wings with baking powder, you’ll create an extra crispiness that makes them taste amazing! – but I never had any experience with this; cant wait to find out if this works. i like the idea of not coating in flour
If you have high blood pressure issues you better skip the baking soda.
baking powder, not baking soda
These are also great in the crockpot if you don’t mind them being non-crispy.
Haha, is this from Chef John?
Yes! He didnt use any specific measurements so I tried to estimate!
Thanks! Have you made them?
You can go to his foodwishes website and get the measurements!
Oh neat, I didnt realize he had one. thanks!
I just watched his video the other day and thought the same thing when I saw this posted LoL
Rachael Ray just made this on her show this morning. So thanks to her and Chef John too 😉

Hi Lina! Can I use olive oil instead? Thanks!
I use cornstarch for the same purpose of crispiness. If you use it on chicken breasts and do a shallow fry on cut up chicken breast, it is exactly like Chik-fil-A naked nuggets.
What do you use aside from cornstarch? My kids love chickfila but it gets too expensive.
Corn starch is what the Asian recipes I have seen used for coating chicken or shrimp before dredging in batter . Baking powder is extremely salty.
And bitter! Wish I had tried corn starch; I know it works great on chicken breasts. These are bitter with buffalo sauce and inedible without sauce, and bitterness usually doesn’t bother me at all. Bummer. Thought I found my silver bullet for crispy baked wings. 🙁
I want some!!! Oh, these look so tasty!! Can’t wait to make ’em!!! 🙂
Wowzaaaaaa! Those look and sound crazy good!
Wow! These sound so yummy! I love Sriracha sauce and combining it with honey sounds divine! The recipes posted on here always have my mouth watering!
I”ve never used my cooling rack in the oven bf. It won’t melt?
I’ve never had an issue, but i would try not to go above 425 just in case. You could also look for another kind of baking rack like that one if uou’re worried, thanks
Anyone know a good ranch dressing (restaurant style) to go with these bad boys? I am in search of a good recipe! Thanks
Everyone said this is a keeper! Great flavor and perfect heat!! Absolutely will make over and over.
