These oven-baked chicken wings are a healthier alternative to fried versions, yet they don't skimp on flavor or crispiness. Tossed in a vibrant sauce made with honey, garlic, soy sauce, and a hint of spice, they're incredibly addictive. The baking method ensures tender meat and golden-brown skin, making them an ideal appetizer for February gatherings like the Super Bowl or a fun family meal.

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-safe wire rack on top. Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the dried wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. The baking powder helps achieve extra crispy skin.
2
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring there's space between each wing for even cooking. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
3
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sriracha (or red pepper flakes), rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
4
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven. Transfer the hot wings to a large clean bowl. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the wings and toss gently until every wing is thoroughly coated.
5
Serve the spicy honey garlic chicken wings immediately, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds. For extra crispiness, you can return the sauced wings to the oven for another 5 minutes after coating, or broil for 1-2 minutes until caramelized (watch carefully to prevent burning).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these wings in an air fryer?

Yes! Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5-7 minutes, until crispy. Then toss with the sauce as directed.

How can I adjust the spice level?

For less spice, reduce or omit the Sriracha/red pepper flakes. For more heat, you can add extra Sriracha or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.

Can I prepare the sauce in advance?

Absolutely! The honey garlic sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before tossing with the wings.
