Ingredients

For the crispy chicken:

  • 2 lb chicken wings about 12 pieces.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder

For the sauce:

  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons butter

Instructions

Prepare wings:

  • Wash chicken wings thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen towel. Lay them on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the fridge for few hours, preferably overnight.

Baking the wings:

  • Preheat oven to 275F. Place two oven shelves one in the lower quarter and another on the upper quarter of your oven.
  • Place wings in a one gallon ziplock with baking powder and salt, Shake to cover wings evenly and make sure no thick clumps of baking powder forms.
  • Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray your rack with oil.
  • Arrange wings on the rack skin side up. Place the rack in the baking sheet.
  • Put the baking sheet on an oven shelf placed in the lower quarter of your oven and bake for 30.minutes.
  • Move the wings to the upper shelf and increase temperature to 425F.
  • Bake for another 35-45 minutes or until the wings are crispy and lightly browned.

While the wings are baking make the sauce:

  • Simmer sauce ingredients on lowest flame in a small saucepan for about 15 minutes.
  • When wings are done, carefully dip them in sauce and place them back on the rack.
  • Pop them again in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or plain.

Notes

  • Make sure to use baking powder not baking soda.
  • Adding hot sauce is optional so add to your liking.
  • If you do not have time for that then make sure to dry the wings as possible as you can. Spread them on kitchen towel and pat dry well all around.
  • Please check the nutrition disclaimer policy.
