A quick and easy 5-ingredient recipe for crispy, spicy, and sweet chicken wings with a sticky sriracha honey glaze. Perfect for snacks, game day, or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings (fresh or thawed, tips removed if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture. Place in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce and 2 tablespoons honey. Stir gently until warm and well combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add wings in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until the underside is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 5-6 minutes until skin is crisp and meat is no longer pink.
  5. Transfer cooked wings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  6. Place wings back in the mixing bowl and drizzle the warm sriracha honey glaze over them. Toss well to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before cooking for extra crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Warm the glaze gently to avoid burning. For extra crispy wings, dust with cornstarch before frying. Wings can be baked at 400°F for 40-45 minutes as an alternative cooking method.
