Ingredients

Protein

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into 2 wing pieces, tips discarded (Note 1 (~16-20 split pieces))
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (NOT baking soda!)
  • 2 teaspoons dry rub (Note 2 (or 3 teaspoons))
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp (for mild-medium spicy (add more or less to taste))
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (optional)

Garnish

  • chopped green onion or parsley, toasted sesame seeds, or extra chili crisp

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, place a wire rack on top, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Pat wings dry, toss with baking powder and dry rub in a bag to coat thinly, then arrange on the rack.
  • Bake wings for 20 minutes, flip, then bake another 25 minutes until crispy and browned.
  • Combine honey and chili crisp in a microwave-safe cup, microwave 15-20 seconds, then stir in optional butter and vinegar.
  • Toss cooked wings in the glaze, garnish as desired, and serve.

Notes

Ensure wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
