Spicy Honey Glazed Wings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste
• Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken Wings: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure they get crispy during baking.

2. 2

   Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Add salt to taste, then pour the spice mixture over the wings. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the seasonings.

3. 3

   Bake the Wings: Place the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are in a single layer for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

4. 4

   Prepare the Glaze: While the wings are baking, prepare the spicy honey glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and olive oil. Heat over medium heat until the mixture bubbles, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Coat the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the spicy honey glaze over the wings and toss them until they are fully coated. This step adds that irresistible shine and flavor.

6. 6

   Final Bake: Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. This allows the glaze to caramelize slightly, enhancing the flavor. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

7. 7

   Serve: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your spicy honey glazed wings with your favorite dipping sauce!
