Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup honey substitute: maple syrup for a different sweetness
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce use tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce substitute: chili paste or gochujang for a different heat profile
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the wings to the bowl and toss until every piece is coated. Let the wings sit in the glaze for 5 to 15 minutes to absorb flavor.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the wings in a single layer, leaving a little space between pieces.
Cooking
  1. Bake the wings for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping once around the halfway point.
  2. For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching closely.
  3. Remove the wings, let them rest for 3 minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve.

Notes

If using drumettes or flats only, the bake time is similar but check for doneness. For a less salty glaze, reduce the soy sauce by 1 tablespoon and add a splash of water. Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking, consume within 3 to 4 days. To freeze, pack cooled wings in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
