Sweet And Spicy Chicken Wings Recipe | Deliciously Sticky Wings

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

    Taste and adjust the spice level if needed.
  3. Coat the Wings

    Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly.

    Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
  4. Prepare for Baking

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.

    This allows the fat to drip off and helps the wings get crispy.
  5. Bake the Wings

    Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    Check for a crispy texture before removing.
  6. Glaze and Serve

    In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush on additional marinade for a sticky glaze. Serve hot.

    Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
