Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
Description
This Honey BBQ Chicken Wings recipe features 4 pounds of chicken wings seasoned with a dry spice rub consisting of kosher salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. The wings are arranged skin side up on a wire rack to allow even heat circulation and baked at 400°F for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure uniform cooking and browning. The wings develop a light golden color with a slightly crisped exterior while remaining tender inside.
Meanwhile, a sauce is prepared by mixing traditional barbecue sauce with honey and fresh lime juice, creating a sweet and tangy glaze that complements the savory spice rub on the wings. After baking, the wings are tossed in this sauce to coat with a glossy layer that enhances both flavor and moistness.
The finished wings can be served as an appetizer, snack, or part of a main meal. The combination of spices, honey sweetness, and lime brightness provides a balanced flavor profile that appeals to a wide range of tastes. Baking the wings on a wire rack keeps them from becoming soggy and allows more even cooking.
Ingredients
For the wings:
- 4 lbs. chicken wings patted dry
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the BBQ sauce:
- 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce traditional

- In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Rub the seasonings evenly onto the chicken wings and arrange them on the wire rack, skin side up, making sure the wings aren’t touching. You might have to use two pans, depending on the size of your wings.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until chicken wings are cooked through and light golden brown.
- While the wings are in the oven, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir until well combined. Serve and enjoy!
