🍗 Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
For the wings:
-
2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings, split and tips removed
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp smoked paprika
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Honey BBQ Sauce:
-
1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
-
1/4 cup honey
-
1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for umami)
-
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional for tang)
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep and Bake (or Air Fry):
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top (helps the wings crisp up).
-
Pat the wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Alternatively: Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
2. Make the Honey BBQ Sauce:
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic powder.
-
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
3. Toss and Serve:
-
Once wings are cooked and crispy, toss them in the warm Honey BBQ sauce until well coated.
-
Optionally, return them to the oven (or air fryer) for 5 more minutes to caramelize the sauce.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
🧄 Optional Dips & Sides:
-
Ranch or blue cheese dressing
-
Celery & carrot sticks
-
Coleslaw
