Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds whole chicken wings or wingettes/drumettes, patted dry
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (about 4 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (about 1 fl oz)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (about 1 fl oz)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (about 0.5 fl oz)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (about 0.17 fl oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it fully preheat for about 10 minutes.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  3. Toss the wings in olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  4. Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer, leaving space between each wing.
  5. Bake the wings for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through at about 17 minutes, until golden brown with charred edges.
  6. While the wings bake, whisk together BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, and lemon juice to make the spicy glaze. Adjust sweetness or heat as desired.
  7. Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the spicy glaze using tongs.
  8. Optionally, arrange the glazed wings back on the wire rack and bake for an additional 5 minutes at 425°F (220°C) to caramelize the glaze.
  9. Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges or celery sticks.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crisp skin. Use a wire rack to elevate wings for even cooking and crispiness. Flip wings halfway through baking. Adjust cayenne and hot sauce to control spice level. For extra sticky wings, bake glazed wings an additional 5 minutes. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end if wings need more crisping. Leftovers reheat best in oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to maintain crispness.
