Recipes Main Courses
The secret to perfect wings is the meeting of collagen and sugar. As fat renders, the skin crisps up, and the spicy sauce caramelizes on top, creating that sticky-crispy experience we crave. Get your napkins ready!

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Parchment Paper or Foil: Essential, as sugary sauce burns onto trays.
  • Kitchen Brush: For glazing.
  • Paper Towels: To dry meat.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat (check sauce)
⚠️ Soy (check sauce)

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat wings thoroughly dry with paper towels.

Tip: If meat is wet, the oven has to boil off water (212°F) before browning (285°F+) begins.
2 ✓

Crush garlic. Mix oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss wings in mixture.

Tip: Oil carries the spices and aids heat transfer.
3 ✓

Arrange on lined baking sheet (don't touch!). Bake 20-25 mins until skin is golden and crispy.

Tip: Spacing allows hot air to circulate (convection).
4 ✓

Warm BBQ sauce mixed with hot sauce in a saucepan.

Tip: Warm sauce is thinner and coats evenly.
5 ✓

Brush wings with warm sauce or toss in bowl. Return to oven for 3-5 mins to set the glaze.

Tip: Watch closely! Sugar caramelizes instantly but burns seconds later.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the sauce burn?
BBQ sauce has lots of sugar, which burns above 320°F. Apply sauce only at the very end!
Can I fry them?
Yes, deep fry at 350°F for 10-12 mins, then toss in sauce.
