Sriracha Honey Chicken Wings – The Perfect Sweet & Spicy Bite 🍗🔥

• 3/4 cup (90g) flour
• 1/2 tsp fine salt, heaping
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 to 2 1/2 lbs (900g–1.1 kg) chicken wings
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) Sriracha
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• Lime wedges, green onions, sesame seeds, and pomegranate (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Line a baking sheet with foil and fit it with wire racks on top. Lightly grease the wire racks.

2. 2

   Combine flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large Ziplock bag and shake to mix. Add chicken wings and shake, making sure they are well coated. Remove wings, shaking off the excess flour and transfer to the prepared wire racks. Refrigerate uncovered for 1–4 hours.

3. 3

   When ready to cook, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly drizzle the chicken wings with oil, or better yet, if possible, use a sprayable oil to give them a light, even coat.

4. 4

   Bake in preheated oven for 35–50 minutes until crispy and cooked through. Mine were perfect in 45 minutes.

5. 5

   In the meantime, combine the sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the melted butter, honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and lime juice until well combined. Pour about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of sauce into a separate container. This will be used for dipping.

6. 6

   Add chicken wings to the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Place the coated chicken wings back onto the wire racks and broil on high for 3–5 minutes, until browned in spots but not burned. Watch closely and don't walk away during the broiling process. Remove from the oven and serve garnished with sesame seeds, green onions, lime wedges and pomegranate, if using.
