Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken wing portions (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispy skin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated wings in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, honey, and melted unsalted butter. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
  5. Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the honey buffalo sauce over the hot wings and toss them until they are fully coated.
  6. Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and enjoy them hot. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces and some crunchy veggies for a complete snack experience.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
  • Reduce hot sauce and increase honey for a milder flavor.
  • Experiment with different hot sauces for unique taste.
  • These wings can also be grilled for a smoky variation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
