📝 Ingredients

• 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)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and set rack inside.
2. 2Carefully dry chicken wings with paper towels.
3. 3Place wings in a bag, add the baking powder and smoked paprika.
4. 4Shake evenly.
5. 5Place on rack, leaving slight space between each wing.
6. 6Place baking sheet with wings in refrigerator and allow to rest, uncovered, at least 8 hours. This draws out the moisture.
7. 7Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
8. 8Add chicken wings and cook for 20 minutes.
9. 9Flip wings and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, 15 minutes. The wings will not be done yet.
10. 10While the wings are cooking, make your Sriracha honey butter sauce.
11. 11In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the butter gently stirring until melted.
12. 12Once the butter melts, add in the Sriracha, honey, salt and lime juice whisking to incorporate.
13. 13Cook for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
14. 14Remove from heat and set aside.
15. 15When the wings are done, place them in a large bowl (can do in batches) and pour half of the sauce over top.
16. 16Gently 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. 17Cook until the internal temp is 165F.
18. 18Remove from the oven and dip each one in the rest of the sauce letting it drip off.
19. 19Top with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
