A delicious recipe for Sticky Sweet & Spicy BBQ Wings that are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels. This helps them become crispy.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  6. While the wings cook, combine BBQ sauce, honey, brown sugar, hot sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, smoked paprika, and cayenne in a saucepan.
  7. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and glossy.
  8. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the warm sauce over them and toss until completely coated.
  9. Return the sauced wings to the rack and bake for another 5–8 minutes, until the glaze becomes sticky and caramelized.
  10. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

  • For extra-sticky wings, brush on another thin layer of sauce during the final 2 minutes of baking.
