Notes
Expert Tips & Substitutions
-
- Baking powder is what makes these wings super crispy, so don't skip on it! Also, make sure you DON'T accidentally use baking soda.
-
- Even though honey is used in these baked honey sriracha wings, you can turn these into low-carb and keto chicken wings with a simple substitution. Just replace honey with a keto sweetener like this one! The exact amount can be found in the recipe box below, along with the nutritional breakdown.
-
- If in doubt, place a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat to check the internal temperature. The chicken wings are done when the temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Serving & Storage Tips
These baked honey sriracha wings are best served right away. Serve with carrot sticks and celery sticks or on their own. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave, or back in the oven for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F (or your air fryer basket for even less time!). The leftovers will lose some of their crispiness, but they'll still be delicious and flavorful! *If you are using a keto sweetener instead of honey, this is the nutritional breakdown:
