Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wings, drums and flats
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Hot Honey Sauce
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Season the wings with baking powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and add the wings to the pan. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the wings, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium, melt the butter. Add the honey and hot sauce, whisking until incorporated. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- When the wings are done, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle half of the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
- Return the wings to the pan and bake for 5 minutes.

Notes
- STORAGE: Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350° until warmed through, flipping to ensure they are heated evenly.
- Grilling Instructions:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat (375-400°F). Add the wings and grill for 18 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway through. The wings are done when the internal temperature register 165°F on a meat thermometer. Toss the wings in the hot honey sauce before serving. You can also grill for an additional 2-3 minutes with the sauce.
- Air Fryer Instructions:
- Add the wings to an air fryer basket and air fry at 380°F for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through, or until the internal temp reaches 165°F. Toss in the sauce before serving.
- Deep Frying Instructions:
- Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil to a deep fryer or deep pot set over medium-high. The oil should be enough to fill at least 1 inch. Once the oil reaches 350°F on an instant read thermometer, fry the wings for 8 - 10 minutes, or until crispy on all sides. Place the wings on a wired rack to drain the excess oil, then toss in the sauce. Serve immediately or you can finish in the oven at 375°F for 5 minutes.
