Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings split at the joints and tips removed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Rimmed baking sheet For roasting the wings
  • 1 wire rack Helps the skin crisp up
  • 1 Large mixing bowl For seasoning the wings
  • 1 Small Saucepan For the glaze
  • 1 Tongs For turning and tossing
  • as needed Paper towels For drying the wings

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack on top if you have one.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.
  3. Add the Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil, olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, then toss until the wings are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack or baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the wings, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes more until browned and cooked through.
  6. While the wings bake, combine the hot sauce, butter, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  7. Stir until the butter melts and the glaze looks smooth, then keep it warm over low heat.
  8. Transfer the baked wings to a clean bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss until every wing is well coated.
  9. Return the wings to the rack for 3 to 5 minutes if you want the glaze to set a little more.
  10. Finish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Ghost Pepper Infused Olive Oil brings a strong chile-forward kick, so the glaze lands hot and bold. If you want a gentler wing, reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon and lean a little harder on the honey. Bake until the wings are crisp and the juices run clear.
