Description

These crispy Baked BBQ Honey Wings are a sweet and spicy dream come true. They’re rubbed with a smoky spice blend and smothered in a homemade honey barbecue sauce infused with sriracha.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Wings

  • 3lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Honey BBQ Sauce

  • 1 1/2 cups favorite BBQ sauce (I used Stubbs)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Add chicken to a large bowl. Pat chicken dry.
  3. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of canola oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt and pepper. Toss to coat all the chicken.
  4. Place chicken on a wire rack lined baking sheet. (if you don’t have a wire rack, use tin foil)
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping the chicken after 20 minutes.
  6. Turn the Broiler on to HIGH.
  7. Place chicken under broiler for 8-10 minutes, until browned.
  8. In the meantime, heat a medium sauce pan to medium heat. Add BBQ sauce, honey, stone ground mustard and sriracha sauce. Stir and bring to a simmer, let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. Remove chicken from oven. Place in a large bowl, pour the Honey BBQ sauce over the chicken wings. Using a pair of tongs, toss the wings to coat all of them with the sauce.
  10. Serve.
  11. Optional: add chopped chives for garnish.

Notes

  • Makes 30-40 wings.
  • To Store & Reheat: Place any leftovers into an airtight container and transfer them to the fridge after they’ve cooled, but before 2 hours have passed. Enjoy them within 3 days, reheating the wings on a foil-lined baking sheet at 350°F until they’re baked through.
  • To Freeze: Freeze cooled wings in a freezer-safe container with parchment or wax paper in between layers. Thaw out frozen wings in the fridge before you reheat them.
