Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (907g) chicken wings, party-cut
  • 1 tbsp (15g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • ½ tsp (2g) black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves (20g) garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp (21g) honey
  • 1 tsp (5ml) soy sauce
  • ½ tsp (2g) smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings completely dry to ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place a wire cooling rack on top, and arrange wings in a single layer without touching.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and bake for 40–45 minutes until golden brown and skin feels firm.
  5. Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
  6. Remove wings from the oven and brush each wing generously with the spicy garlic glaze.
  7. Turn the oven to Broil and return the wings to the oven for 2–4 minutes until the glaze bubbles and turns a deep mahogany color.
