Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hot Honey Chicken Wings
  1. Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with all the dry ingredients and let them marinate for 20-30 minutes.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken wings and ensure every wing is coated.
  4. Preheat the oven to 410°F. Arrange the wings on a wire rack over a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake the wings for a total of 50-60 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Prepare the hot honey sauce by melting butter and combining it with honey, sriracha, crushed red pepper, and sea salt.
  7. Baste the wings with the hot honey sauce during the last 5 minutes of baking, broiling for an extra crispy finish.
  8. Toss wings in remaining hot honey sauce before serving.
