What You’ll Need
This recipe is easy to put together and all you need are chicken wings, some spices, and a few other ingredients. For the chicken wings, you will need two pounds of chicken wings, cleaned and cut into two pieces. For the spices, you will need two teaspoons of garlic powder, two teaspoons of onion powder, two teaspoons of paprika, one teaspoon of black pepper, and one teaspoon of salt. For the other ingredients, you will need one-third cup of hot sauce, three tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and one tablespoon of honey.
Instructions
The first step is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and mix to coat the wings with the spices. Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes. Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and honey and mix to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for two minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat.
In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken wings and the sauce. Toss the wings in the sauce until they are evenly coated. Serve the wings warm with a side of celery and carrot sticks.

Tips and Tricks
For a bit of extra flavor, you can add some chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or parsley to the sauce before you add it to the wings. You can also add some chopped garlic for an extra kick. If you like your wings extra spicy, you can add more hot sauce or a dash of cayenne pepper.
If you don’t have time to bake the wings in the oven, you can fry them instead. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken wings and fry until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the wings from the skillet and add them to the sauce in the bowl.
If you want to make the recipe healthier, you can use olive oil instead of butter and skip the honey. You can also skip the hot sauce and use some red wine vinegar instead. This will cut down on the fat and calories in the recipe.
