Teriyaki sauce adds a sweet and savory twist. Mix flavors to create your own special sauce. This way, you can enjoy a new taste every time you make these wings. You can cook chicken wings in different ways. An air fryer gives you crispy wings without much oil. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook for about 25 minutes. Flip them halfway for even crispiness. If you prefer the oven, follow the [Full Recipe] instructions for perfect wings. Grilling is another great option. Preheat the grill to medium heat and cook wings for about 20 minutes. Turn them often to avoid burning. No matter the method, your wings will be full of flavor! To keep your Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps keep out air and moisture. Place the wings in the fridge if you plan to eat them within three days. For longer storage, use the freezer. Wrap the wings tightly in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. This method prevents freezer burn. To keep the wings crispy, avoid stacking them. Lay them flat in a single layer. You can also place parchment paper between layers if you must stack them. This keeps the wings from sticking together. To reheat your wings, the oven works best. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes. This method keeps them crispy. You can also use an air fryer.

For best flavor, marinate chicken wings for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, let them sit for up to 2 hours in the fridge. The longer marinating time helps the wings soak up all the tasty spices. Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. Just make sure to thaw them first. Thaw overnight in the fridge or run them under cold water. Once thawed, follow the same marinating and cooking steps. You can serve the wings with a variety of sides.

Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup of honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for your desired heat level)

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon ginger, finely minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Sesame seeds for garnishing

Chopped green onions for garnishing

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and position a wire rack atop the sheet to promote even cooking and crispiness.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until you achieve a smooth marinade.

      Carefully place the chicken wings into the bowl with the marinade, using your hands or tongs to thoroughly coat each wing. For a deeper flavor infusion, allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes; if time permits, let them sit for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

        Once marinated, lay the chicken wings out in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. This arrangement ensures that the heat circulates around the wings, allowing them to crisp up beautifully.

          Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Be sure to flip them halfway through cooking to ensure both sides develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior.

            After baking, you can enhance the flavor by tossing the wings in any leftover marinade for a delicious finish (optional step).

              Serve the hot wings immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a scattering of chopped green onions for added freshness and crunch.
