Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) scallions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for even cooking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Toss until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 4

Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t touching each other.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add honey, soy sauce, and hot sauce, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the honey glaze over them. Toss until the wings are fully coated.

Step 8

Return the glazed wings to the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.

Step 9

Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Honey Baked Chicken Wings with your favorite sides or dipping sauce!
