Make crispy, sticky BBQ chicken wings coated in a sweet and tangy honey glaze. This recipe delivers takeout-style flavor at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup prepared BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  3. In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is very crispy and golden brown.
  6. While the wings bake, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and smoked paprika.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Remove the wings from the oven and place them in a large bowl.
  9. Pour about half of the honey glaze over the hot wings and toss to coat them thoroughly.
  10. Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
  11. Remove from the oven, toss with the remaining glaze, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra sticky wings, let the glaze cool slightly before tossing the wings in the second coat.
  • If you prefer grilling, cook the wings over medium heat until crispy, then brush with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to control the sweetness level.
