Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the wings. Toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Drizzle the vegetable oil over the wings and mix again to evenly distribute the oil and seasonings.

Step 5

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until fully cooked and crispy.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, prepare the hot sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 8

Once melted, add the hot sauce and honey to the saucepan. Stir well until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.

Step 9

Remove the baked wings from the oven and immediately transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 10

Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are thoroughly coated in the sauce.

Step 11

Serve the hot wings immediately, optionally garnished with chopped parsley or alongside celery sticks and bleu cheese dressing for dipping.
