Wings Ingredients

Method

Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Wings

    Place the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.

  4. 4

    Toss Wings in Sauce

    Once the wings are baked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the wings hot, garnished with additional hot sauce if desired.
