# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss with vegetable oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
04 - While wings bake, combine Sriracha, melted butter, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until well blended and warmed through. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer baked wings to a large bowl. Pour Sriracha glaze over and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
06 - Arrange wings on a serving platter. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve with lime wedges if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The glaze hits that perfect sweet spot between fiery heat and mellow honey that keeps you reaching for just one more
- These wings emerge from the oven with restaurant quality crispiness without any deep frying mess
02 -
- I learned the hard way that boiling hot glaze makes the soggiest wings, so let it cool slightly before tossing
- That wire rack isn't optional, it's the difference between crispy skin and wings that steam in their own juices
03 -
- If you want more heat without losing that sticky glaze consistency, add a pinch of cayenne instead of doubling the Sriracha
- Line your baking sheet with foil underneath the rack for the easiest cleanup ever
