Honey-Barbecue Wings

Hey guys! Today I’m sharing with you, my absolute favorite way to make crispy saucy wings. There are several factors that make these the best wings you’ll ever get out of an oven:

They are coated with spices, but the most important part of that coating is baking powder. The baking powder lends a hand in helping these wings become super crispy, while the taste is undetectable after they have been cooked.

Smoked paprika. Need I say more? Smoked paprika is definitely in my top five favorite seasonings. It lends so much to any dish it is added in. The smoky flavor leaves a nice touch that will have you thinking “did these come straight off the grill?”

The sauce. There are two components. Honey & barbecue sauce. That’s it. That’s all you need when the chicken has been previously seasoned with just the right amount of flavor.

The chilling. These wings need 30 minutes in the refrigerator before making their way into the oven. This way, the skin will dry out, and they will not be soggy.

Check out my video & full recipe below for a step by step tutorial on how these wings are made.

Description

Oven baked wings with a crispy exterior, covered in honey-barbecue sauce.


Scale

Ingredients

Wings

  • 4 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 2 tbsp Baking Powder ((aluminum free))
  • 2 tbsp Kosher Salt ((Diamond Crystal brand))
  • 2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Scallions ((for garnish))

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce ((your favorite kind))
  • 1/4–1/3 cup Honey ((add honey until you’re satisfied with the sauce))

Instructions

  1. Prep your wings by cutting them at the joints to separate. Place all of the wing pieces in a bowl. Reserve the wing tips & freeze for later use in different dishes, such as chicken stock.
  2. Mix baking powder, kosher  salt, smoked paprika and black pepper to combine. Sprinkle mixture onto the chicken and mix well until all of the pieces are evenly coated.Place your chicken on a baking rack and into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the refrigerator & place it into your preheated oven for one hour. Flip the chicken pieces halfway through cooking (after 30 minutes).
  4. Prepare your sauce by heating a small sauce pan over a medium/low flame, and add your barbecue sauce and honey. Mix to combine and let it heat up to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat.
  5. Place your chicken wings into a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss until they are evenly coated. Chop up 2 scallions (green onions) and use them to garnish. Serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

*I only use Diamond Crystal brand kosher salt. Other salts maybe be saltier, so please keep that in mind.

*Make sure your baking powder is Aluminum Free for the best results.

A little chocolate work for your feed 🤩 Here, I A little chocolate work for your feed 🤩 Here, I’m using a slab of marble to cool down some chocolate ganache. The marble is a naturally cold surface, so it helps the ganache firm up enough to be piped out of a piping bag.

Last night, I dined at Lido Harlem, an Italian res Last night, I dined at Lido Harlem, an Italian restaurant located on Harlem’s Restaurant Row. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the food was incredible. This restaurant is woman owned, and the executive chef is also a woman, Chef Serena Bass (this made me stan even harder!). Here’s what we ate:

Antipasti:
• Salmon Fritters with Chipotle Aioli
• Fried Calamari with Chipotle Aioli
• Grilled Crostino with Burrata, Roasted Pears, Prosciutto, Honey & Sage

Primi/ Pasta:
• Gnocchi with Truffle Butter, Parmesan, Guanciale, Cream & Fresh Sage
• Fresh Squid Ink Linguine with Scallops, Shrimp, Calamari, Tomato Sauce, Chili, Garlic & Orange Zest

Secondi:
• Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Sweet Corn, Roasted New Potatoes, Thyme, Chilies, Cream & Basil Pesto

Dolci:
• Flourless Molten Chocolate Lava Cake with Salted Caramel Gelato

Drinks:
• Rosso Sangria

Everything was amazing so it’s hard to pick favorites, but the Grilled Salmon, the Truffle Butter Gnocchi & the Grilled Crostino with Burrata and Roasted Pears are definitely the three dishes I would come back for over and over again!

I’m already planning my return trip for their brunch 🤤

Oh hey, it’s me! This week at school was a littl Oh hey, it’s me! This week at school was a little difficult because we dove into the world of chocolate tempering. This is probably the most frustrated I’ve been in school thus far. 

Chocolate is very... temperamental. (Ha! See what I did there?) I ended up ruining my whole batch of chocolate that I had spent twenty+ minutes tempering because I went over the temperature threshold by ONE DEGREE. At that point I wanted to “pack my knives and go” (Padma voice), and I did because class was pretty much over by that point 😂

Yesterday, I went in with a better attitude, because I’m not gonna lie i was having a pretty crappy day on Wednesday & I think that energy carried over into my work. So I tried again with positive mindset & it worked!!! My chocolate set up perfectly. This taught me a lot about being okay with accepting my failures and knowing that they’re not fixed experiences. Failure is so much better than getting things right the first time, because it gives you an opportunity for growth.

*Pictured here is me piping out ganache (which is the one thing I got right on Wednesday) for the center of the truffles that I finished yesterday. Swipe to see the finished Ginger Truffles covered in a dark chocolate shell with Rice Krispies*

Danishes! We spent 3 days making these danishes & Danishes! We spent 3 days making these danishes & they we’re definitely worth it. The first day we focused on making and laminating the danish dough (which is rolling a block of butter into the dough & book folding the dough to create tons of layers). The second day we continued to roll out our dough into a thin sheet & cut out 5x5 inch squares to put our fillings on/in. We finally baked them yesterday, and they were finished by brushing with nappage & dusting with powdered sugar.

Pizza! We finished assembling our pizzas in school Pizza! We finished assembling our pizzas in school yesterday & it was such a fun process. The pizza dough was made on Tuesday and left to ferment overnight. I used fresh yeast in the dough, which sort of resembles a block of tofu. I’m usually used to using dry active yeast or instant yeast, so it was cool to try something new.

I topped my pizzas with mozzarella, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and fresh basil 😋

What are your favorite pizza toppings?
