Equipment

- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Pastry brush
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings tips removed and drumettes separated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup barbecue sauce preferably a Dallas-style BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes optional
- Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Initial Bake: Bake the wings for 25 minutes, then flip and continue baking for another 20 minutes until they are nearly fully cooked and slightly crispy.
- Make the Sauce: While the wings are baking, mix the barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes in a bowl.
- Coat the Wings: Remove the wings from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F (220°C). Toss the wings in the sauce mixture until evenly coated.
- Final Bake: Return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Add more red chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the BBQ mixture for extra heat.
- Sweet Twist: Mix in a tablespoon of brown sugar or maple syrup to the sauce for deeper sweetness.
- Smokey Flavor: A teaspoon of liquid smoke will intensify the BBQ smokiness.
- Herbal Notes: Add dried thyme or oregano for an aromatic touch.
- Gluten-Free Option: To adapt this recipe for a gluten-free diet, opt for tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce.
