Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings, split at the joints and tips removed
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (like vegetable or canola)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil a rack set over a sheet to catch drippings.
- Pat the wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy. Toss them in a bowl with the oil, and a little salt and pepper.
- Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared sheet or rack. Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust if you want more heat or sweetness.
- When the wings are done, remove them from the oven. Pour the warm glaze over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes to set the glaze.
- Serve hot. A sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped scallions can add a little color and crunch if you like.
