# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Wings
01 -
2 lb chicken wings
02 -
1 tbsp olive oil
03 -
1 tsp sea salt
04 -
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
05 -
1 tsp garlic powder
06 -
1 tsp onion powder
07 -
1 tbsp baking powder
→ Sticky Honey BBQ Sauce
08 -
1/2 cup honey
09 -
1/4 cup soy sauce
10 -
3 tbsp barbecue sauce
11 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 -
1 tbsp brown sugar
13 -
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Pat chicken wings very dry with paper towels to promote crispiness. Toss wings with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder until evenly coated. Arrange wings spaced on a wire rack set over a foil-lined sheet pan.
02 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake wings for 20 minutes, then flip and continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes until wings reach 165°F internally and develop deep golden edges.
03 -
Combine honey, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Adjust tanginess with a splash of vinegar if desired.
04 -
Transfer hot wings to a large bowl and pour most of the prepared sauce over them. Toss to coat all wings evenly. Add more sauce as needed and let wings rest for 3 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
05 -
For a stickier finish, broil the coated wings on the rack for 1 to 3 minutes. Monitor carefully to prevent burning due to the honey content.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Patting wings dry before coating and baking promotes optimal crispiness.
02 -
Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened for a glossy finish.
03 -
Monitor wings closely when broiling as honey burns quickly.
