These hot honey chicken wings are lip-smackingly good, have a sweet and spicy kick and they’re so easy to make at home. They’re crispy, oven-baked chicken wings bathed in a buttery chilli honey.

- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¾ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon hot dried chilli flakes (red pepper flakes) (notes 1)

Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- baking sheet with wire rack
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced) / 400F. Line a baking sheet with baking paper then sit a wire rack over the top, if you hae one.
- Cut wings at joints to separate. Discard the wing tips. Pat the rest dry with paper towel and place in a bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder, salt, onion powder, paprika and garlic powder and given them a good mix so they are all coated.
- Space out on the baking sheet, skin side up, and place in the oven for 45 minutes until golden and crispy.
- While the chicken is cooking add the sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring just to a bubble then immediately set aside until needed. You can strain some or all of the chilli flakes out if you want to calm the spice a bit - give it a taste after 10 minutes steeping time and decide.
- Once the chicken wings are ready, add them to a large bowl with about ⅓ of the sauce and toss them to coat well. Spread them back out on the baking sheet, skin side up again, and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with more sauce on the side.
