Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp optional: chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation for even cooking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispy wings.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in this dry rub mixture until they are evenly coated.
Place the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they have space between them. This helps achieve maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Stir in the hot sauce, honey, white vinegar, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Serve the wings immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy the heat!
