Baked Chicken Wings
Description
This Baked Chicken Wings recipe starts by patting wings dry to achieve crisp skin during baking at 400°F. The wings are coated in a seasoned mixture of olive oil, salted butter, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper, then baked in a single layer on a foil-lined and greased baking sheet. Cooking time is around 45 to 50 minutes until the wings are golden and crisp.
While baking, a sauce is prepared by melting salted butter and combining it with honey, sriracha, soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari), and freshly squeezed lime juice. This sauce provides a balance of sweetness, heat, umami, and acidity. After baking, the wings are tossed in the sauce to coat thoroughly.
These wings can be garnished with lime wedges for a fresh citrus note before serving immediately. The level of heat can be adjusted by varying the amount of sriracha used.
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 TB olive oil
- 3 lbs chicken wings split, no tips
- 2 TB butter salted
- 1 TB garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 3 tsp kosher salt not fine table salt
For the Sauce:
- 5 TB butter salted
- ½ cup honey pure
- ¼ cup sriracha
- 1 TB soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
- 2 tsp lime juice freshly squeezed
- lime for garnish, wedges, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F, and place rack on the upper middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Using dry paper towels, pat the wings dry. This step is important to ensure crispy wings.
- In a bowl, combine the oil, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the wings in the bowl, and toss to combine, coating thoroughly.
- Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not over-crowd. Bake 45-50 minutes or until they are browned and crisp.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Immediately remove from the heat, and set aside.
- Transfer the wings to a large bowl, and pour the sauce on top. Toss to coat.
- Garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
