Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp hot sauce

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry and toss with the baking powder, oil, and dry rub until fully coated.
  2. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the wings on a wire rack for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and 165°F (74°C) inside.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, whisk in the honey and hot sauce, and simmer for 3 minutes until glossy.
  4. Toss the baked wings in the warm glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

If you're prepping ahead, the dry rub can be mixed and stored in an airtight jar for up to a month, which cuts the hands-on time on the night you actually cook. Pat the wings dry twice if they seem wet, once before seasoning and once after, since extra moisture is the main reason the skin doesn't crisp up.
