Honey BBQ Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (add a couple more dashes if you like heat!)
  • Ranch, for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° and place a wire rack over a baking sheet. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with oil, paprika, and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake until chicken is golden and skin is crispy, 55 to 60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add barbecue sauce, honey, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Let thicken, 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Heat broiler on low. Transfer baked wings to a bowl and toss with sauce until completely coated. Return to rack and broil until sauce caramelizes, 3 minutes.
  • Serve with ranch.
