Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds organic chicken wings, disjointed
- 2 tablespoons On Everything All-Purpose Blend
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 cup homemade BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup organic raw honey (can substitute with maple syrup or agave)
Instructions
- Wash and rinse organic chicken wings under cold water, then pat them dry. Place wings in a large bowl, season generously with On Everything All-Purpose Blend, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 days for enhanced honey barbecue chicken flavor.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Grease a baking dish or large foil pan to prevent the honey BBQ chicken wings from sticking.
- In the same bowl used for the wings, combine homemade BBQ sauce with organic raw honey. Stir until well blended, creating a sticky honey BBQ glaze.
- Carefully transfer the coated honey BBQ chicken wings into the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally halfway through baking. Look for the wings to turn crispy and the glaze to caramelize for that irresistible baked sticky honey BBQ chicken flavor.
- For an extra crispy finish, switch your oven to broil for the last 10-15 minutes of baking. Keep a close eye on the honey BBQ chicken to prevent burning.
- Once the honey BBQ chicken wings are done and beautifully caramelized, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve your baked sticky honey BBQ chicken wings with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Consider air-frying for a quicker method, cooking at 360°F for 10-15 minutes for crispy honey BBQ chicken.
- Dry wings well: Pat your wings thoroughly with paper towels after rinsing to ensure crispy honey BBQ chicken results.
- Use a wire rack: Place marinated honey BBQ chicken wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet for optimal crispness.
- Customize your honey BBQ sauce: Experiment with spices like chipotle or cayenne pepper for a unique kick.
- Watch the broil: If you broil for extra crispiness, keep a close eye on the honey BBQ chicken to prevent burning.
- Store leftover honey BBQ chicken wings in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freeze honey BBQ chicken wings for up to 3 months in a zip-top bag or airtight container.
- Reheat honey BBQ chicken wings in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or use a microwave for a quicker option.
