Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1/2 cup honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings get crispy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and cornstarch. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Spread the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
4. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
6. Return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
7. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure the wings are completely dry before coating them with cornstarch for maximum crispiness.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of sriracha based on your heat preference.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Easy Variations

• For a citrus twist, add the zest of one lime to the sauce.
• Substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile.
• Try adding sesame oil to the sauce for an extra layer of richness.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh vegetable sticks with ranch or blue cheese dressing
• Crispy fries or sweet potato fries
• A light salad with a tangy vinaigrette
• Garlic bread or toasted baguette slices
