Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs chicken wings, drumettes and flats separated
  • 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Sliced green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat wings dry, then toss with oil, salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
  2. Arrange wings in a single layer on a rack-lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes, flip, bake another 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. While wings bake, whisk ketchup, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire, remaining 1 tsp smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Transfer baked wings to a bowl, coat with three-quarters of the sauce, then return to the sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until sauce is bubbling and charred in spots.
  5. Pile wings on a platter, drizzle with reserved sauce, and scatter green onions or sesame seeds if using. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispy skin, add 1 tsp baking powder to the dry spice mix and toss wings with it along with the oil and seasonings. Let them sit uncovered in the fridge for 1 hour before baking if you have time.
