Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings

These glazed honey sriracha wings are quite delicious and incredibly simple, but the sauce is merely an afterthought here. The real star of the show is the strange, but effective technique of coating the wings with a baking powder-laced spice rub before baking. Through the magic of chemical reactions, the surface of the chicken becomes bone-dry, and eventually crisps up to something very similar to what would come out of a deep fryer.

Ingredients List

  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-proof wire rack over the foil.

  2. Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl.

  3. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat. Repeat with remaining baking powder mixture, tossing well to coat.

  5. Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
