Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes (organic or pasture-raised if possible)
- 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder helps crisp the skin
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika for subtle smokiness
- 1 tsp garlic powder or onion powder, if you prefer
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin gives more flavor
- 1/4 cup honey wild-flower or clover honey works great
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tbsp hot sauce Frank’s RedHot or Sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Fresh chives or parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack on top.
- After patting the wings dry, toss them in a large bowl with baking powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Spread them out on the rack.
- Slide the wings into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Whisk olive oil, honey, soy sauce, hot sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Adjust heat or sweetness to your liking.
- After 25 minutes, flip each wing and brush half the sauce over them. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
- Brush on the remaining sauce, then broil for 2–3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Let the wings rest for 5 minutes on the rack, then transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top.
Notes
Pat wings dry with paper towels before tossing in baking powder for crispiness. Wings can be customized with various sauces like BBQ or Buffalo. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
