Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the wire rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Ensure there is enough space between each wing for proper air circulation.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and honey until fully combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or celery sticks on the side if desired. Enjoy your finger-licking chicken wings!
