  3. Allow wings to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and arrange on a wire rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  6. In a saucepan, melt butter, then stir in crushed red pepper, cayenne, honey, sriracha, and sea salt; simmer until thickened.
  7. Brush wings with the hot honey sauce in the last 5 minutes of baking; broil for extra caramelization if desired.
