Instructions
- 1
Start by patting 3 lbs of chicken wings completely dry with paper towels, which is critical for achieving crispiness. Toss the wings with 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour or overnight to allow the skin to dry out further, which enhances crispiness.

Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C). Bake the wings for 20 minutes to slowly render the fat, then increase the temperature to 425°F (218°C) and bake for an additional 35–40 minutes, flipping the wings once at the 20-minute mark, until they are deeply golden brown and the skin is crispy.

While the wings are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in 3 tablespoons of honey, 3 tablespoons of sriracha, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar. Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Once the wings are done, toss them in the sauce until evenly coated. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately for the best flavor.
