Instructions

Set your oven to 400°F to preheat. Place the chicken wings in a sizable bowl and pat them dry with a paper towel to eliminate any extra moisture. Mix them with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne to ensure even coating. Arrange them in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they have ample space.
Roast them for 45 minutes, then turn them over and broil for an additional 5-6 minutes to achieve your preferred level of crispiness.
In the meantime, place the vegetable oil in a saucepan on the stove. Let it melt over a medium flame. Add the hot sauce and hot honey, stirring until they blend smoothly. Allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Set aside to cool and thicken further.
Once the wings are finished cooking, drain off any excess fat and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss until they are well-coated, then serve and enjoy.
For the air fryer method, cook the wings in a greased air fryer basket at 375°F for 20 minutes, turning them midway through the cooking time.
If using a grill, preheat to medium-high. Cook the wings for 15-20 minutes, turning them regularly, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Notes

For a spicier flavor, increase the cayenne in the seasoning mix or add hot sauce to the wings before serving.
Make the sauce tangier by adding fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for extra acidity.
Experiment with different hot honey varieties like jalapeño-infused or cinnamon-infused for a unique twist.
