Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons green onions (thinly sliced, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch over the wings. Toss to evenly coat each wing.

Step 3

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the firecracker sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once combined, remove from heat.

Step 5

When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm firecracker sauce over the wings and toss to coat each piece evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the coated wings on a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or celery sticks on the side. Enjoy your spicy Firecracker Wings!
