Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray or oil.
In a large mixing bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the wings, tossing them to ensure all are well coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they don’t touch each other. This allows for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip each wing over and continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, make the hot & spicy sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and lime juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot & spicy sauce over the wings, tossing them gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the sauced wings to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
