Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  • Wire rack (optional but recommended for extra crispiness)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Measuring spoons
  • Basting brush

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings split and tips removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust for heat preference
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder for extra crispiness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top if you have one, as this helps the wings cook evenly and stay crispy.
  • Season the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil until evenly coated. In a separate bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, and baking powder. Sprinkle the dry rub mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
  • Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet (on the wire rack if using). Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and fully cooked.
  • Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze: While the wings are baking, prepare the hot honey glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey and hot sauce until well combined.
  • Glaze the Wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven. Using a basting brush, generously coat each wing with the hot honey glaze.
  • Serve: Serve the wings immediately while they are hot and crispy. Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and spicy flavors!
