  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and pour half of the honey BBQ glaze over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
  4. Arrange the coated chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting later.
  5. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Brush the reserved glaze onto the wings during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  6. Once the wings are cooked through and the glaze is caramelized, remove them from the oven. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Optional: Garnish the wings with chopped green onions for added freshness and visual appeal.

Notes

For best results, ensure your chicken wings are thawed if using frozen wings, as this helps with even cooking and quicker preparation. For extra caramelization and a charred appearance, broil the wings for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Feel free to customize the glaze according to your taste preferences by adjusting the amounts of honey, barbecue sauce, or spices. Serve the wings with your favorite side dishes like coleslaw, potato wedges, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal and enjoy!
