Crispy Baked Chicken Wings [2 ways]
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken wings (I used a mix of wingettes and drumsticks)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Honey Sriracha Sauce
- 1/4 cup sriracha
- 1/4 cup honey
Spicy Honey Barbecue Sauce
- 1/3 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2-3 tbsp hot sauce (omit if you want no spice at all)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and place a wire rack on top of a large foil-lined baking sheet.
- Prepare the wings by removing them from their package and patting them dry with a paper towel. Try to remove as much excess moisture as you can. Season them with salt and pepper on both side.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sriracha and honey for the first sauce. Using a pair of tongs, place half of the wings into the sauce and toss until everything is completely coated in the sauce.
- In another medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, and hot sauce for the second sauce. Then with the tongs, place the other half of the wings into the sauce and toss until completely coated.
- Arrange the wings on the baking sheet in an even layer, leaving a little bit of space in between each one. If they are too close and touching each other, it won't allow the skin to crisp up on all sides.
- Bake for 40 minutes total, flipping them over after 20 minutes so they can crisp on the second side.
- Remove from the oven, place them on a serving platter and enjoy!
