Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top for even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until coated.
Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until crispy.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, butter, and rice vinegar. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove wings from the oven, toss in the warm sauce, serve hot with fresh herbs and your favorite dips.
