Scale
For the wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (.9kg)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder - aluminum free
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Honey Sriracha sauce:
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
To garnish:
- sesame seeds
- sliced spring onion
Instructions
Prepare the wings:
- Dry the wings very well with paper towels.
- Combine the baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Rub mixture on the wings.
- Place wings on a rack on top of a foil lined baking sheet. (Optional: for extra crispy wings let rest in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.)
Prepare the sauce:
- Combine the butter, sriracha, and honey in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat until bubbly. Combine the lime juice, soy, and cornstarch in a small bowl and stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- Add cornstarch mixture to the sauce and cook for a minute or two until the sauce thickens. Turn off heat.
Bake the wings:
- Bake wings in a 450 degree oven until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, about 50 minutes, depending on the size of your wings, flipping the wings half way through the cooking time.
- After wings are crispy and golden brown, remove from the oven and turn the broiler on high.
- Brush the tops of the wings with some of the sauce and broil for a minute or two, watching carefully, until the sauce just starts to caramelize and the wings turn brown in some spots.
- Remove the wings from the oven and toss with the remaining sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion.
- Serve immediately.
