Ingredients

1.2 kg Chicken wings
1 tsp Sea salt
½ tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp Garlic powder
200 ml BBQ sauce honey style
2 tbsp Runny honey

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Line a baking tray with foil and set a wire rack over it. This allows hot air to circulate under the wings so they cook evenly.
Pat the chicken wings dry with kitchen paper — this step helps them crisp. Place them in a large bowl, add salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack.
Bake for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together your honey BBQ sauce and honey in a small bowl. After the first bake, brush the wings generously with half the sauce. Return them to the oven for 10 minutes, then brush with the remaining sauce. Bake for a final 8–10 minutes until sticky, glossy, and lightly caramelised at the edges.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving so the glaze sets properly.
