Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Sauces and Seasonings:
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Spices:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Heat your oven precisely to 400°F, positioning the rack in the center to ensure even cooking.
- Whisk together ½ cup honey, ¼ cup hot sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika in a mixing bowl until the marinade is completely smooth.
- Place 2 pounds of chicken wings in a large baking dish, arranging them in a single layer so each wing gets maximum sauce coverage.
- Pour the entire marinade mixture over your wings, then use your hands to thoroughly coat each piece, ensuring no wing is left dry.
- Transfer the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 40 minutes, turning the wings carefully halfway through to guarantee uniform browning.
- Switch your oven to broil at 500°F for a crisp exterior, watching closely for 3-4 minutes until the wing edges turn golden and slightly charred.
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow wings to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the sauce set and prevents burning your mouth.
Notes
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels before seasoning to help achieve maximum crispiness.
- Adjust hot sauce quantity based on personal spice tolerance for a milder or more intense flavor profile.
- For gluten-free version, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos to maintain similar umami depth.
- Line baking dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sauce from sticking to pan.
