For the Wings

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic gives a bolder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Feel free to substitute with finely minced fresh onion.

Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss thawed chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Let sit for a few minutes.
  3. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
  4. After 25 minutes, flip the wings over using tongs and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth to create the glaze.
  6. Remove the wings from the oven and brush the honey BBQ glaze over each wing. Bake for another 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. For extra crispiness, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  8. Let the wings rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
