Ingredients
- 800 g/1.8 lbs chicken wings with skin drums and flats separated, wingtips discarded
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch (cornflour)
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
Hot Honey Sauce
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 1-2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the wings with the seasonings and let them marinate for 20–30 minutes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and mix until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any drips. If you don’t have a wire rack, then spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and line the wings onto it. The wire rack helps circulate the air making wings extra crispy.
- Bake at 210°C (410°F) for 25–30 minutes per side, totaling 50–60 minutes.
- Prepare the hot honey sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in red pepper flakes and cayenne, then add honey, sriracha, and sea salt. Simmer briefly, then remove from heat.
- For extra flavor, baste the wings with the hot honey sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking and broil them on the top rack.
- Transfer the remaining sauce to a large bowl, add the wings, and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately while hot with the dip of your choice.

Notes
- Toss the wings in the hot sauce right after they come out of the oven or fryer, while they're still piping hot.
- Feel free to garnish the hot honey wings with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or cilantro for an extra touch.
- You can bake, air fry or grill these chicken wings. If you are deep frying, leave out the baking powder.
