Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Spicy Sauce
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top to allow air circulation around the wings for even crisping.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the coated wings and toss again to distribute the oil. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the wings for 20 minutes. Then flip and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
- Whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and chili flakes in a small bowl to create the sauce.
- Transfer the cooked wings to a bowl and toss with the spicy sauce until fully coated.
- Optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, refrigerate the seasoned wings uncovered for 1 hour before baking. Adjust the heat level to your preference with cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
