Have something hot today, here's how
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint and tips removed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Sriracha Sauce:
- 1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Optional: 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This helps the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Sriracha Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, prepare the Sriracha sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, unsalted butter, minced garlic, lime juice, and grated ginger (if using). Stir frequently and cook until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined, about 5 minutes.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the Sriracha sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
- Serve:
- Serve the wings hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. They pair well with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your heat preference. You can add more honey if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
