Sticky Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings are perfect for game day or any gathering. These wings are crispy, glazed with a sweet and spicy sauce, and garnished with sesame seeds and fresh herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or sriracha
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken wings dry and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (or bake at 400°F if preferred).
  3. Sear wings skin-side down for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, chili sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Return wings to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the sticky glaze.
  7. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, spooning sauce over the wings until caramelized.
  8. Garnish with parsley and sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by reducing or increasing chili sauce and red pepper flakes.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes after glazing.
  • Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
