BBQ Wings with Honey Glaze (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Wings

01 - 2 pounds chicken wings, patted dry
02 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Sweet and Sticky Sauce

03 - 1/2 cup golden honey
04 - 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
05 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
06 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
10 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

→ For Garnish

11 - Fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven nice and hot at 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and pop a wire rack on top - this is your secret weapon for super crispy wings!
02 - Give those wings a good pat-down with paper towels - the drier they are, the crispier they'll get! Season them generously with salt and pepper until they're looking ready for their sauce bath.
03 - Mix up your sauce by whisking together the honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and all those wonderful spices until they become one beautiful, sticky glaze.
04 - Toss your wings in a big bowl with that gorgeous sauce until every piece is coated in sweet, sticky goodness.
05 - Lay those sauced-up wings on your prepared rack, giving them some personal space. Let them bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden and irresistible.
06 - In the last 5 minutes, brush on a little extra BBQ sauce for that picture-perfect glaze. Want them extra crispy? Give them a quick 2-3 minute broil, but watch them like a hawk!
07 - Let them cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!), sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with extra sauce on the side for those who like it extra saucy.

# Notes:

01 - These wings are the perfect party food - they're always the first to disappear at gatherings!
02 - The secret to extra crispy wings is making sure they're completely dry before seasoning.
