Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure crispy skin.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss until the wings are fully coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until the wings are crispy and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
While the wings are baking, prepare the spicy BBQ sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, and melted butter. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the spicy BBQ sauce over the wings and toss until they are completely coated.
Optional: For extra stickiness, return the coated wings to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish the wings with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
