Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for spice)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow for even air circulation.

Step 2

In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for crispiness.

Step 3

Sprinkle the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the wings. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Place the prepared wings on the wire rack in a single layer without overcrowding them. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the awesome sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, sriracha (if using), butter, and vinegar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the awesome sauce over them. Toss gently to ensure each piece is well coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, celery sticks, or carrot sticks on the side. Enjoy your Awesome Sauce Chicken Wings!
