Honey sriracha chicken wings recipe demystified
When I cook chicken wings, I prefer to bake them except when I am pressed for time or making salt and pepper chicken wing. That is one wing recipe I am partial about, it should be fried and not baked. moving on swiftly, today’s wing recipe is baked but it is crispy, yes CRISPY! Thanks to baking powder (not baking soda please) and baking rack. I wonât go into the science of why baking powder makes chicken wings crispy as I plan to make a post on it separately. That said, if you have an air fryer, you can use it to achieve the type of crispiness this recipe calls for. If you would rather fry this recipe, then swap the baking powder for 2 tablespoons of cornflour. What I can tell you today is if you followed this recipe to the T, you wonât regret it. Sounds patronising but it is the truth. I love making honey sriracha wings as it only requires a handful of ingredients (as with most of my recipes) I would also like to say you should not let the name sriracha honey wings scare you, it is actually not that hot or should I say spicy. The honey and the vinegar added to the sriracha balances the heat and that is why this recipe is so good. It is safe for kids too because it falls on the mild scale side of hot sauce.
