Ingredients

• 2 lbs Chicken wings
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.333 cup Hot sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack onto the baking sheet and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, hot sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat if necessary. Add the wings to the bowl with the marinade and toss until each wing is evenly coated.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 5

Arrange the marinated chicken wings on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are evenly spaced for good air circulation.

Step 6

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, flip the wings over using tongs and return them to the oven for another 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped green onions.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
