Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 4 pounds chicken party wings patted dry with a paper towel
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Sauce:
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Directions:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that crispy skin.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings in this mixture until they are well coated.
- Step 3: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the rack.
- Step 4: Bake the wings for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: While the wings are baking, prepare the sticky sauce by combining the buffalo sauce, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until it thickens slightly.
- Step 6: Once baked, transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the sticky sauce over them, tossing to coat evenly.
- Step 7: Serve the wings immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or chopped green onions if desired.
