Easy Crispy Hot Honey Wings (Crazy Good Flavor!)

Ingredients

• 4 lb chicken wings (about 18-20 wings, fresh or frozen and thawed)
• 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp butter (melted)
• 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
• 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• pinch salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil and spray lightly with non-stick spray.

2. 2

   If wings are sitting in juices, drain over the sink for several minutes. Then use paper towels to pat the chicken wings as dry as possible.

3. 3

   Toss wings into a large bowl, then add baking powder and seasonings.

4. 4

   Place wings on prepped sheet pans, leaving space in between each one. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until nicely golden and crispy on the outside.

5. 5

   While the wings are baking, combine the honey, butter, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.

6. 6

   When the wings are done, use tongs to gently pull them off the foil and place them in the bowl. Some might stick a bit - that’s normal. Just keep wiggling until they pull off. If they are quite stuck it means they are not done yet. Allow them to bake a few more minutes before removing them.

7. 7

   Gently toss the wings with the sauce until all are covered. Serve immediately.
