Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger powder, onion powder, salt, white pepper, cayenne, and smoked paprika. Toss the dried wings in this mixture and marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the marinated wings and toss to coat evenly. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring space between each wing.
  5. Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, then flip and bake for another 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Stir in red pepper flakes and cayenne, then add honey, sriracha sauce, and sea salt. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Baste the wings with hot honey sauce in the last 5 minutes of baking. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Once baked, toss the wings in any remaining hot honey sauce and serve immediately.
