Ingredients
  

For the Wings
  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings Main protein source; essential for achieving that classic wing experience.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Enhances crispiness during baking by allowing moisture to evaporate.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Boosts flavor; opt for kosher or sea salt for the best taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds seasoning; customize quantity based on your spice preference.
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Honey Acts as the primary sweetener in the BBQ sauce; substitute with maple syrup if preferred.
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce Provides depth of flavor; choose your favorite store-bought option or make your own!
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Balances out the sweetness of the sauce; can be swapped with white vinegar if needed.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds a savory touch; feel free to use fresh garlic for a bolder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Contributes mild sweetness; freshly minced onion can also work if moisture is managed.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Optional; introduces a lovely smoky flavor; omit if unavailable or use regular paprika instead.
