Perfectly crispy and golden-brown chicken wings are baked to perfection using a special blend of baking powder and spices for that irresistible crunch without needing a fryer.

With just 15 minutes of prep time, they’re perfect for game days, parties, or any night you crave finger-licking goodness. Serve them fresh out of the oven for an appetizer that’s sure to impress!
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.
Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
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.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
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.
Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl.
Pour the hot honey BBQ garlic sauce over the wings and toss until the wings are fully coated.
Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite dips or sides!
