Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup honey
• 0.25 cup Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
• 2 stalks green onions (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the Hot and Sweet glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 6

Stir in honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove it from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are fully cooked, place them in a large, clean mixing bowl. Pour the prepared glaze over the wings and toss until they are coated evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the glazed wings to a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Hot and Sweet Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauce or sides!
