Ingredients

  1. 3 1/2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes
  2. Kosher salt
  3. 3/4 cup ketchup
  4. 1/4 cup bourbon
  5. 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  6. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  7. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  8. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  9. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  10. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  11. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  12. 1/3 cup hoisin
  13. 3 tablespoons honey
  14. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  15. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  16. 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
  17. 1 teaspoon sriracha, or to taste
  18. 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  19. 1/2 cup sour cream
  20. 2 tablespoons sriracha
  21. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  22. 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Instructions

  1. For the wings: Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with wire racks.
  2. Toss the wing parts with a little salt, then arrange them on the racks on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Roast the wings, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and very crispy, 45 to 55 minutes.
  3. For the bourbon barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter; transfer to a large bowl.
  4. For the sticky sesame sauce: Whisk together the hoisin, honey, sesame seeds, butter, sesame oil and sriracha in a large bowl.
  5. For the sriracha ranch: Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha and garlic powder in a small bowl; top with the chives.
  6. To finish the dish: Add half of the wings to the bowl with the barbecue sauce and half to bowl with the sesame sauce; toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the sriracha ranch.

The Sesame Sticky wings are my favorite wings ever! Absolutely perfect with the Sriracha Ranch! They’re so popular, I serve them at most of my get-togethers. Delicious

Absolutely the best wings I’ve ever made! I’m used to doctoring up store-bought wings, but they’re often fried or heavily breaded — just not healthy. My attempts at roasting wings from scratch before have been unsatisfactory — too much work and not very tasty. These were terrific, and not difficult. I only made the bourbon sauce; next time I’ll make both. Heartily recommend!
