Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them become crispy while baking.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the honey BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Place the wings in a large mixing bowl and pour the honey BBQ sauce over them. Toss the wings until they are completely coated in the sauce.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and serve immediately, garnished with optional chopped parsley or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
