Crispy Honey Sriracha Wings
Crispy Honey Sriracha Wings are oven-baked until golden and crackly, then tossed in a sticky glaze that balances gentle heat with mellow sweetness.

- 2½ pounds chicken wing sections
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

- Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack and bake for 20 minutes until the skin begins to dry.
- Flip the wings and bake for another 20 minutes to build color and texture.
- Flip once more and bake an additional 15 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
- Whisk together honey, Sriracha, seasoned rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
