Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 BBQ brush
  • 1 aluminum foil (optional)
  • 1 tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken wings, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
  • Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • While the wings are baking, prepare the honey BBQ sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  • After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven. Using tongs, flip the wings and brush them generously with the honey BBQ sauce.
  • Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure an even coating of sauce and crispy texture.
  • Once finished, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can drizzle more sauce on top if desired.
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness or spice level of the honey BBQ sauce according to your preference.
Serve with celery sticks and your choice of dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese dressing.
