Game Day Honey Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings

  • Author: Saly
  • Total Time: 47-52 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

These baked chicken wings feature a perfect balance of sweet heat from honey and sriracha, delivering a crispy, sticky, and spicy flavor without the grease of frying. Easy to prepare and a crowd-pleaser for game day or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (split wings or drumettes)
  • ¼ cup honey (85g)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (45ml)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)
  • Optional: fresh chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  2. Toss wings in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Place a wire rack on a foil-lined baking sheet (optional but recommended). Arrange wings in a single layer without touching.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake wings for 20 minutes.
  5. Flip wings using tongs and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While wings bake, whisk together honey, sriracha, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Adjust heat or sweetness to taste.
  7. Remove wings from oven and immediately toss in the honey sriracha sauce until well coated.
  8. For extra sticky wings, place coated wings back on baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions or cilantro and serve hot.

Notes

Patting wings dry is essential for crispy skin. Use a wire rack for better air circulation and crispiness. Broiling at the end caramelizes the sauce for extra stickiness. You can prep wings ahead and bake fresh when ready. For gluten-free, swap soy sauce with tamari. For vegan, substitute chicken wings with cauliflower florets and use vegan honey alternative or maple syrup.
