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
- 1 cup Hot sauce
- 0.333 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- as needed Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly spray the rack with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder until they are evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, honey, brown sugar, unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until each wing is evenly coated.
Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
