These spicy, yet slightly sweet and tangy are a must try for anyone who loves sriracha sauce.
They are quite simple to make and don’t require a deep fryer. I bake them most of the time, but they do turn out great in an air fryer if you have that option.
First toss your wings in some vegetable or canola oil, sea salt, and black pepper. You can do this in a bowl or in a closable bag. It can be done the day before or right before you are ready to bake them.
Then lay them out flat on a parchment-lined sheet tray.
Silicone baking mats work great, but for things that are going to produce some liquid, like grease, I use parchment paper to keep it from oozing onto my pan.
I happened to be making my Firecracker Wings at the same time so I used the same sheet tray.
In a 400 degree oven, bake the wings for 30 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until they are crispy.
If you have an air fryer, cook at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, flip them over and cook at 400 degrees for another 8 to 12 minutes, until crispy.
While your wings are cooking, put the orange juice, honey, and sriracha in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Mix your cornstarch with the water and whisk into sauce. Simmer until thickened. (Sorry, no fun pictures for this step.)
When the wings are crispy, toss in the sauce or put wings on a plate and pour sauce over the top. Sprinkle some chives or green onions on top.
Enjoy!
