Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and set a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Toss the wings with the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread on the rack in a single layer.
- Bake for 45 minutes, flipping once at the 25-minute mark, until the skin is deep golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- In the last 10 minutes of baking, combine the ketchup, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour the warm sauce over them, and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until every piece is coated.
- Pile onto a platter, spoon remaining sauce over the top, and garnish with sliced scallions or a pinch of smoked paprika. Serve immediately.
Notes
These wings are best eaten right after glazing. If you're making them for a crowd, keep the baked wings warm in a low oven at 200°F (93°C) and glaze in batches just before serving. The sauce recipe scales easily: double everything for a bigger group and it holds well at room temperature for about an hour.
