Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wing portions
- 1 ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Hot Honey Sauce:
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot Original Sauce
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more for serving
- 1 garlic clove finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- chopped green onions optional
- toasted sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Add the chicken wings to a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Sprinkle the seasonings over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Place the wings skin-side up on the prepared wire rack. Flipping halfway through, bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are crispy.
- While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, and salt. Whisk until well combined and simmer for 5 minutes over medium-low heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toss the cooked wings in ¼ cup of the hot honey sauce. Return the wings to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until caramelized. For extra crispy wings, broil for 3-5 minutes more.
- Drizzle the wings with more sauce, then transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with green onions, additional red pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with any remaining sauce.
Notes
- Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (or 380°F) for at least 3 minutes. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. Toss the wings in ¼ cup of the hot honey sauce, then return them to the air fryer skin-side up for another 5 minutes.
- For maximum crispiness: Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and baking, bake on a wire rack, and broil for an extra 3-5 minutes at the end.
- Adjusting the Heat: To make the wings spicier, increase the red pepper flakes or add an extra splash of hot sauce. For a milder version, reduce the red pepper flakes and use less hot sauce in the glaze.
- Reserve Some Sauce: Save a little of the hot honey sauce for drizzling over the wings after baking or for dipping. This adds extra flavor and keeps them moist.
- Make Ahead Option: You can season the wings and refrigerate them up to 12 hours in advance. Bake them just before serving for the best texture.
