• 4 lbs chicken wings, halved at joints, wingtips discarded (save for stock)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 8 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/3-1/2 cup Sriracha (go with more if you want more heat)

   Shake evenly.

5. 5

   Place on rack, leaving slight space between each wing.

6. 6

   Place baking sheet with wings in refrigerator and allow to rest, uncovered, at least 8 hours. This draws out the moisture.

8. 8

   Add chicken wings and cook for 20 minutes.

9. 9

   Flip wings and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, 15 minutes. The wings will not be done yet.

    While the wings are cooking, make your Sriracha honey butter sauce.

11. 11

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter gently stirring until melted.

12. 12

    Once the butter melts, add in the Sriracha, honey, salt and lime juice whisking to incorporate.

13. 13

    Cook for 5-10 minutes until heated through.

14. 14

    Remove from heat and set aside.

15. 15

    When the wings are done, place them in a large bowl (can do in batches) and pour half of the sauce over top.

16. 16

    Gently toss and place the wings back on the rack/pan and place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time.

17. 17

    Cook until the internal temp is 165F.

18. 18

    Remove from the oven and dip each one in the rest of the sauce letting it drip off.

19. 19

    Top with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
