Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the skin crisp up in the oven.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings, skin-side up, on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are evenly spaced and not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip them over and bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the hot honey glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, hot sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey glaze over the wings and toss quickly to ensure they are fully coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce and fresh veggies for a complete meal or snack.
