Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.33 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil until evenly coated.
Step 3
If baking, place the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. If grilling, grill the wings directly over medium-high heat for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and nicely charred.
Step 4
While the wings are cooking, prepare the Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, brown sugar, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and butter. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, then remove it from heat.
Step 5
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm BBQ sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Serve immediately with celery sticks, ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, and enjoy this bold and flavorful dish!
