Ingredients

Scale

Wings

2 lbs chicken wings (fresh or thawed, skin on preferred)

Sauce

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Additional

Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions

Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove any excess moisture, which is essential for achieving crispy skin when cooked.
Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Coat the Wings: Place the wings in a large bowl or sealable plastic bag, pour the prepared sauce over them, and toss gently to ensure every wing is evenly coated.
Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings on a greased baking sheet or in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. If air frying, cook at 380°F (193°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning once for even crispiness.
Add Extra Sauce: After cooking, toss the wings in any remaining sauce or brush on an extra layer of honey-sriracha glaze to achieve an irresistibly sticky finish.

Notes

Patting the wings dry is key to getting crispy skin whether you bake or air fry them.
Adjust sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
You can prepare the wings a few hours ahead and marinate them in the sauce in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.
Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the wings and your appliance, so check for doneness and crispiness before serving.
