Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings separated
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 tsp lemon juice as substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top if available.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings in a large bowl with vegetable oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack or baking sheet, leaving space between each wing.
  4. Bake wings for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through at about 20 minutes, until golden-brown and crispy.
  5. While wings bake, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth and slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Avoid boiling.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, chives, parsley, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning and refrigerate until serving.
  7. Once wings are cooked, transfer them back to the large bowl. Pour the warm honey sriracha glaze over and toss gently with tongs until all wings are coated.
  8. Arrange glazed wings on a platter and serve with the homemade ranch dip on the side. Garnish with extra chopped chives or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Flip wings halfway through baking for even cooking. Use a wire rack for crispier skin or broil for 2-3 minutes at the end if needed. Warm glaze gently without boiling to avoid bitterness. Ranch dip tastes better after resting. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Air fryer option: cook wings at 400°F for 25 minutes, shaking halfway.
