Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tbsp hot sauce
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- as needed ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
While the wings are baking, prepare the two sauces. For the spicy garlic butter sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce.
For the sweet tangy BBQ sauce, mix BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
Once the wings are cooked, divide them into two portions. Toss the first portion in the spicy garlic butter sauce and the second portion in the sweet tangy BBQ sauce.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
