Chicken wings. Yum.

Sriracha. Double yum.

IPA beer. Triple yum.

Crispy Baked IPA Sriracha Chicken Wings. Home run yum.

A combination of coating the chicken with baking powder and using first low oven temp then very high temp results in crisp wings with tender, moist meat. It’s a really great cooking technique that won’t make you miss deep fried wings. The buttery sauce has a nice kick from the sriracha and beer.
