Ingredients

• 2 lbs chicken wings
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.33 cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tbsp hot sauce
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0 olive oil cooking spray
• 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 5

After 20 minutes, flip the wings and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 10

Pour the hot honey BBQ garlic sauce over the wings and toss until the wings are fully coated.

Step 11

Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately with your favorite dips or sides!
