Spicy Glazed Chicken Wings

by

Spicy Glazed Chicken Wings are crispy, juicy chicken wings coated in a flavorful, sticky, and spicy sauce. They are often baked or fried until golden and then tossed in a glaze made with ingredients like honey, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, and butter. The combination of sweetness, heat, and savory umami makes them a popular appetizer or snack, especially for game nights, parties, or casual meals.

These wings can be served with dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese and paired with celery or carrot sticks to balance the heat. Want to try making them? I can help customize the recipe to your taste! 😃🔥🍗

Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (for extra crispiness)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

For the Spicy Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sriracha (adjust for heat preference)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wings:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Toss them with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl.
  3. Arrange the wings on the rack in a single layer.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.

2. Make the Spicy Glaze:

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in honey, sriracha, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Coat the Wings:

  1. Remove wings from the oven and toss them in the spicy glaze.
  2. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

🔥 Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, air-fry the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through.
