Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
Description
This recipe prepares chicken wings by seasoning with salt and ground black pepper, then baking them on a rack over foil-lined baking sheets at 400°F. This setup prevents sogginess by allowing air to circulate around the wings, promoting crispy skin. Baking for about 45 to 50 minutes with rotation ensures even cooking and browning. The sauce combines bottled barbecue sauce with honey for sweetness and sriracha for mild heat, stirred together before coating the cooked wings. Tossing the wings in this sauce immediately after baking results in a glossy, flavorful glaze.
These wings can be served hot as an appetizer or main dish. The sauce provides both sweet and spicy notes, complementing the crispy texture developed through baking. Adjust the amount of sriracha to control heat level.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken wings thawed, frozen, party wings
- salt
- black pepper ground
Honey BBQ Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons barbecue sauce bottled
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Transfer them to a large bowl and toss with salt and black pepper. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, then place a baking rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack, as pictured below.
- Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until fully cooked and crispy, about 45 to 50 minutes. Make sure to keep checking on them.
- Mix all the ingredients for the Honey BBQ Sauce in a big bowl.
- When the chicken is done, transfer it out of the oven and add it to the Honey BBQ Sauce. Toss a few times to coat well. Serve immediately.
