Chicken Wings

Hot Honey BBQ Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures the wings will cook evenly and get crispy.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Prepare the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet, and arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the rack.

  4. 4

    Step 4: Bake the Wings

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

Making the Hot Honey BBQ Sauce

  1. 5

    Step 5: Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine honey, BBQ sauce, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  2. 6

    Step 6: Heat the Sauce

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.

Coating and Serving

  1. 7

    Step 7: Coat the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot honey BBQ sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.

  2. 8

    Step 8: Serve

    Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
