Chicken Wings

Print Recipe

Crispy and flavorful chicken wings perfect for a snack or party appetizer, tossed in a tangy and spicy sauce that satisfies every craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, and olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until skin is crispy and wings are cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey to create the wing sauce.
  5. Remove baked wings from oven and immediately toss them in the wing sauce until fully coated.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy wings, pat them very dry before seasoning and bake on a wire rack to allow air circulation. Feel free to adjust the heat level by varying the cayenne pepper and hot sauce.
