Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
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. Lightly grease the wire rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Ensure there is enough space between each wing for proper air circulation.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and honey until fully combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or celery sticks on the side if desired. Enjoy your finger-licking chicken wings!
