Ingredients:
- 12-14 chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a cooling rack on top of the sheet for extra crispiness.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which will help them get crispy.
- Place the wings in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
2. Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or cooling rack.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
3. Make the Hot Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, and honey (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce is well mixed and slightly simmering.
4. Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the hot sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly. For extra heat, you can add more hot sauce to taste.
5. Serve and Garnish:
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese, and enjoy!
