Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 lbs chicken wings with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 tsp garlic powder until evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup honey and 1 tbsp finely ground Ethiopian coffee. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the honey is warm and infused with coffee aroma.
Step 4: Remove wings from the oven and brush generously with the coffee-honey glaze.
Step 5: Return the wings to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Step 6: Serve hot as a flavorful appetizer or main dish.
