Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
Baked chicken wings coated with honey-sriracha sauce. Sticky, sweet and mildy spicy.
You know when you make an excellent dish when you want to take photos again, but you realized its too late.
I think some of you are aware that I love Sriracha. But honestly, I haven’t tried using it as is. I love Sriracha-based sauces or dips. I love anything with Sriracha on it. Honey, on the other hand, I haven’t tried cooking or baking with it. I have honey, but I usually use it in dips and on smoothies.
I prepared the sauce according to the instructions below and coated the chicken wings. The smell is just beyond amazing that I could just dive in into the sauce. I prepped my props and I was very happy with the photos. Of course, one of the awesome things of being a food blogger is you get to enjoy the fruit of your labor.
You enjoy. You enjoy. And you enjoy… without even realizing that you can make the dish yummier and more appetizing. The light bulb over my head sparked or let me say gave me fireworks when I thought of broiling the chicken wings. Ugh! The sun is down by that time. Why can’t the light bulb turn its light on at daytime? Because it’s daytime and it’s saving energy? 😀 Wrong time to save. Well, it’s too late. No natural light and I hate taking photos without it.
However, I proceed with the broiling thing… er, not broiling… I placed the chicken wings inside a oven toaster and I did my thing. 😉 It came out incredible. I could just slap my face by not being able to think about it when the sun is up. Blogger problems. 😐
This Sriracha Chicken Wings is beyond amazing. It has sticky, sweet, mildly spicy sauce.
The smell alone is to die for. The chicken wings is first baked, then smothered with the super delicious sauce. My strong suggestion, go ahead and broil them after coating them with the sauce until they get little charred. Alternatively, you can just grill them directly outside.
Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings
- Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 kg chicken wings, split, remove tips
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 3 tsp salt
For the Sauce:
- 5 tbsp butter
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup Sriracha
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- lime wedges, to serve
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and grease the foil.
- Pat dry the chicken, set aside.
- In a bowl, mix oil, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add pat-dried chicken wings to this mixture, mixing to coat well.
- Place coated chicken in the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until chicken is browned and crisp.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan with low-medium heat, melt butter. Add the remaining sauce ingredients (except for lime wedges, they are to be used for later) and stir constantly. Cook until mixture starts to bubble. Turn off the heat and remove from the heat, set aside.
- When the chicken wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce all over your chicken (you can put everything or set aside for dipping sauce).
- Optional, but highly recommended: Place your chicken wings on a cleaned baking sheet lined with foil, broil them till they get charred. You can also do this is an oven toaster like I did. It works really well. 😉 But I did it after I took a photo 🙁
- Serve immediately and serve with lime wedges.
Notes:
To grill outside: coat the chicken with some sauce and grill until cooked/charred. Save some for basting or dipping.

I love your first sentence!!! These are crazy good-looking! I so much prefer baked over deep fried.
Jhuls
Baked chicken saves you a lot of energy. 🙂 Thanks a lot, Chef Mimi. Have a lovely weekend. xx

Ohh yum!! I love a sweet and spicy chicken wing and these sound delicious! I also know what you mean about needing daylight to take the perfect photo, but if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve never known! Awesome recipe 🙂
Jhuls
This recipe is really awesome. Glad I found it. Going crazy over these chicken wings. Thanks a lot, Justine. Have a fab weekend. 🙂 xx
Lily
Hey Jhuls, just made the wings are they were delicious! I absolutely loved the sauce. The only thing I would do differently is bake them a little bit longer because my husband likes super crispy wings. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipe:) xx
Jhuls
You can broil them for better texture like I did, Lily. Thanks for trying it out. Do you have photo to send me? 😀
Lily
Thanks for the tip Jhuls, my husband and I dug right in and inhaled them, so I didn’t even think of snapping a photo, next time for sure:)
Jhuls
Haha! I understand. Thanks again, Lily. Have a fun weekend. 🙂

Your chicken wings look and sound lipsmackingly delicious with or without the sunlight. Coincidentally the one over my head looks like a distant cousin of yours. Loves to shine brightest during dusk. That’s the reason most of my dishes are shot with indoor lighting. But that’s how it works with me. Can’t help 😉
Jhuls
I can’t do the photos at night – I’ll die. Haha! Thanks, Ana. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂 xx

Looks like a winner Jhuls – I love Sriracha too. Not being a wings fan I would sub for chicken breast nuggets 🙂
Jhuls
I think chicken nuggets would be good, too. Hope you’ll let me know when you try this out. Have a great week, Aunt Juju. 🙂

This looks so delicious, Jhuls! I’ve never heard of Sriracha but it has to be good 😀 Happy FF <3
Jhuls
I am sure you will love this, Sarah! Try this when you find one. 🙂 Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Sending you lots of love.

You are so cute! I always do the same thing. I end up making something and realizing “YES THIS IS PERFECT” but then I look at my surroundings and it’s pitch black and dark. I have such a hard time taking pictures in the dark. The food just doesn’t look as pretty… But yours look so nice!
I also love the simplicity of this. I could easily make this even at my boyfriend’s house, and he has basically no ingredients. 😛
Jhuls
I have taken this during day time. Was planning to take photos of the ones I broiled (aka toasted), but it was already dark outside, so I just enjoyed my meal and planned to do the shoot another time. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. This dish is super delicious! I hope you can try it. Have a lovely weekend!
Lily
I love sweet and spicy wings and I have a huge pack of uncooked chicken wings from Costco in the freezer, so this is perfect, thanks so much for sharing:)
Jhuls
I hope you will love the dish as much as I did, Lily. I am thinking of making this again next weekend! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
Elaine @ foodbod
The photos look fab! And I’m sure my boys will love this 🙂 xx

Oh, I bet they will. 😉 Let me know, Elaine. Enjoy your weekend! Sending you lots of love.

Very nice Jhuls, I like the sweet and sour taste that this must impart.
