Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings

The perfect combination of saucy and crispy, these air fryer lemon pepper chicken wings have a butter base that creates just the right amount of sauce to pair with the tangy flavor from lemon pepper seasoning.

Recipe Summary Crispy Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings

The honey-sriracha glaze is quite delicious and incredibly simple, but merely an afterthought here. The real star of the show is the strange, but effective, technique of coating the wings with a baking powder-laced spice rub before baking. Through the magic of chemical reactions, the surface of the chicken becomes bone-dry, and eventually crisps up to something very similar to what would come out of a deep fryer.

Ingredients | Honey Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections

⅓ cup honey

⅓ cup sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

¼ teaspoon sesame oil

1 pinch sesame seeds, or as desired

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place an oven-proof wire rack over the foil.

Whisk baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Place chicken wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 of the baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat. Sprinkle remaining baking powder mixture over wings and toss to coat again. Place wings onto the rack of the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn wings and continue baking for 20 minutes. Turn wings again and bake until wings are browned and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Transfer wings to a large bowl.

Whisk honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Drizzle glaze over wings and toss to coat completely. Transfer wings to a serving platter and sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
