Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Wings
  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 cup honey BBQ sauce

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Wire rack
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This will help the wings get crispy all around.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the wings are evenly coated with the seasonings.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Remove the wings from the oven and brush them generously with honey BBQ sauce.
  6. Step 6: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
