Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings (flats and drumettes; fresh or thawed)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free for best taste)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced fresh garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika for subtle smokiness)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand; I love Sweet Baby Ray’s)
  • 1/4 cup honey (wildflower or clover)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (brightens the glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional) Frank’s RedHot for buffalo style
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley, sesame seeds, or sliced green onions

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Toss wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  • Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then flip every wing with tongs.
  • Bake another 10–12 minutes until wings are crisp and browned.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  • Pour the warm glaze over wings and toss to coat.
  • Arrange wings on a platter and garnish with parsley, sesame seeds, or green onions. Serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

Pat wings dry for extra crispiness. Chill coated wings in the fridge for 30 minutes for tighter skin.
