Sweet and Spicy Baked Chicken Wings

After having my sister-in-law Lisa’s crispy grilled chicken wings, I set out to make crispy wings in the oven. I have found success with this and LOVE IT!  This is more of a method as you can use ANY sauce you want to coat the wings. This can be done with Lisa’s buffalo sauce.  I am currently working on another sriracha honey sauce and will add that recipe after I work on it a little more and get the recipe exactly where I want it!

Make this for your next football get together or any gathering you may be having. You will not be disappointed as I have already made these two more times, and they disappear really fast in my house!  This recipe can easily be doubled and I recommend it!

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds chicken wings
1 cup of honey
1 pinch (or more if you want it spicy) red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place a cooling  wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray liberally with non stick spray.  Put the wings in a bowl and add the baking powder, coating all of the wings with a thin coat of powder shaking off any excess and placing the chicken on the prepared pan. When all of the wings are coated and on your pan place the pan on the LOW rack in your oven and bake for 30 minutes.  After 30 minutes turn the oven up to 425 degrees,  move the pan to the middle rack in your oven. Bake for 20 minutes, turn wings over and bake for another 20 minutes. While the wings are baking mix the remaining ingredients together and set aside. When the wings have finished cooking for the second 20 minutes,  brush the honey mixture on the top of the wings and let bake 1 minute, turn wings and coat the second side with mixture, cook one minute and repeat this step one more time. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Enjoy,
