Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss 24 chicken wings with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is crisp and golden.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 3 tbsp honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Remove wings from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the honey garlic BBQ sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
  5. Step 5: Return wings to the baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze, watching carefully to avoid burning. Serve immediately.
