Instructions

1. Prep the Wings:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (or air fryer to 375°F). Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to ensure extra crispiness.

2. Season the Wings:

In a bowl, toss the wings with cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Bake or Air Fry the Wings:

Oven: Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Air Fryer: Place wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and fully cooked.

4. Make the Sauce:

In a large pan over medium heat, add the sriracha and honey. Stir until well combined.

Gradually add the cold butter, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

5. Coat the Wings:

Add the crispy wings to the sauce and toss until fully coated and caramelized.

6. Serve:

Serve immediately, and enjoy your sweet, spicy, and crispy honey sriracha wings!

Notes

Spice Level: If you love more heat, drizzle extra hot sauce or switch to a spicier sriracha to give it a fiery kick.

Crispiness: Adding a bit of baking powder to the seasoning mix helps make your wings extra crispy!

Sauce: Simmer the sauce on low heat to melt the butter and make the sriracha glaze more glossy.
