Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Wings
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Calabrian Chili Honey BBQ Sauce
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1½ tbsp Calabrian chili paste
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Garnish
  • Chopped parsley
  • Sesame seeds
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a wire rack over a baking sheet.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry and toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer and bake for 45–50 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. Make the sauce by heating butter, garlic, BBQ sauce, honey, Calabrian chili paste, and apple cider vinegar in a pan for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Toss baked wings in the sauce until well coated.
  6. Bake again for 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
  7. Garnish and serve hot with ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Notes

1. Always dry wings before seasoning to ensure crispy skin.
2. Use baking powder, not baking soda for oven crisping.
3. Adjust chili paste depending on spice tolerance.
4. Bake wings on a wire rack so air circulates evenly.
