# What You Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.5 lbs chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
02 - 1 tbsp vegetable oil
03 - 1 tsp kosher salt
04 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
05 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
→ Honey BBQ Sauce
07 - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
08 - 1/4 cup honey
09 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
10 - 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
11 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F or heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F if frying. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top for baking.
02 - Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack or baking sheet.
04 - Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown. If frying, cook wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until deep golden and cooked through, draining on paper towels.
05 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine barbecue sauce, honey, butter, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Stir until butter melts and sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
06 - Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour warm honey BBQ sauce over wings and toss to coat evenly.
07 - Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
