Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 1 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to help cook the wings evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss to evenly coat the wings in the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the wire rack, making sure they are not overcrowded. This ensures they crisp up nicely.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for another 20 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey barbecue sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, and water.
Whisk the sauce continuously and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the honey barbecue sauce over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated.
Return the coated wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings!
