Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings Recipe
These paleo oven baked chicken wings with sticky honey sriracha wing sauce are so delicious in every way. The wings are super crispy (I despise soggy wings) and the sauce has just the right amount of spice. My husband, who usually doesn’t like sweetness in wings, couldn’t stop eating these. I promise – they are just so finger-licking good!
How to Make Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
I really love these paleo oven baked chicken wings, and they always turn out SO crispy and delicious. It’s how I make my wings 90% of the time, and then switch up the sauce depending on my flavor mood. The secret ingredient is baking powder, which creates a coating around the wings that gets ultra crispy when baked at high heat!
Here’s how to make honey sriracha chicken wings:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Pat dry the wings thoroughly. Place in a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle with baking powder and salt.
- Place the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet without touching each other. Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the wings, and bake for 20 minutes.
- While the wings are baking, make the honey sriracha chicken wing sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
- Once the wings are finished baking, toss with the sauce until coated well.
- That’s it. Enjoy these crispy honey sriracha chicken wings immediately for best flavor and texture. If you like, sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro before serving!
