Hot Honey Chicken Wings
Hot Honey Chicken Wings are the best of both worlds: a bit of spice and a hint of sweetness. They're baked in the oven until crispy, then coated in a delicious hot honey sauce that you'll want to eat by the spoonful!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the chicken wings:
- 3 lbs. chicken wings
- 2 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbso hot sauce I used Frank's
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. NOTE: depending on the size of the wings, you may need to use two baking sheets.
- Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to a large bowl. In a small bowl, stir the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cayenne together, then sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and toss until the chicken is coated.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, then bake the wings for 30 minutes, flipping half way through.
- While the chicken is baking, make the sauce: add all of the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low. Whisk until the butter has melted, then bring the sauce to a low simmer and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened slightly; remove from the heat.
- Once the chicken is done, brush the sauce overtop of each chicken wing. Enjoy!
