Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 pounds (1.8 kg) chicken wings, drums and flats
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) smoked paprika
- 1 ½ teaspoons (7.5 ml) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon (1.25 to 2.5 ml) red pepper flakes (optional)
Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (180 ml) honey
- ½ cup (120 ml) hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375°F, ensuring an even temperature distribution for optimal wing cooking.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by combining baking powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Meticulously coat each chicken wing with the seasoning mixture, ensuring comprehensive coverage and maximum flavor absorption.
- Strategically arrange the seasoned wings on a lined baking sheet, positioning them with ample space between each piece to promote crisp exterior development.
- Initiate the initial roasting phase by placing wings in the preheated oven, allowing them to transform for 20 minutes.
- Carefully rotate the wings to promote uniform browning, continuing the baking process for an additional 15-20 minutes until achieving a golden, crispy texture.
- Simultaneously craft the glaze by gently melting unsalted butter in a saucepan over moderate heat.
- Incorporate honey and hot sauce into the melted butter, whisking vigorously to create a harmonious, glossy coating.
- Remove wings from the oven and transfer to a large mixing bowl, drizzling half the prepared hot honey sauce over the crispy surface.
- Gently tumble the wings to ensure comprehensive sauce coverage, allowing each piece to become thoroughly glazed.
- Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet for a final 5-minute caramelization, intensifying the flavor profile and creating a luxurious sheen.
Notes
- Crispy wing magic happens when baking powder meets high heat, creating irresistibly crunchy exterior.
- Seasoning blend transforms ordinary chicken into flavor-packed bites with smoky, bold spices.
- Hot honey sauce delivers sweet-spicy punch that elevates these wings from good to absolutely addictive.
