Easy Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings Recipe

This recipe features chicken wings coated in a golden glaze made from honey, hot sauce, and spices. It takes about 45 minutes from prep to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
Salt to taste
Chopped green onions or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with half of the glaze until they are evenly coated.

Cook the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
Add the Final Glaze: During the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the wings with the remaining glaze to caramelize.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
