Hot Honey Sticky Wings
Crispy oven-baked chicken wings tossed in a glossy hot honey glaze made with butter and hot sauce, delivering the perfect balance of sweet heat and sticky texture in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top if available.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack or baking sheet without overlapping.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings bake, combine honey, hot sauce, butter, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.
- Warm the glaze over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Transfer the hot wings to a bowl, pour the warm glaze over them, and toss until fully coated.
- Serve immediately while sticky and glossy.
Notes
- Drying the wings thoroughly helps achieve crisp skin.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to prevent steaming.
- Warm the glaze gently to avoid burning the honey.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispness.
