Honey BBQ Wings

Ingredients

• 2  lb chicken wings 
• 2  tbs extra-virgin olive oil 
• 1  tbs paprika 
• 1  tbs garlic powder 
• kosher salt 
• Freshly ground black pepper 
• 4  tbs butter 
• 1  cup barbecue sauce 
• 1/4  cup honey 
• 2  tsp hot sauce (add a couple more dashes if you like heat!) 
• Ranch, for dipping 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° and place a wire rack over a baking sheet. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with oil, paprika, and garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
2. Bake until chicken is golden and skin is crispy, 55 to 60 minutes. Flip halfway through. 
3. Meanwhile, make sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add barbecue sauce, honey, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Let thicken, 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
4. Heat broiler on low. Transfer baked wings to a bowl and toss with sauce until completely coated. Return to rack and broil (watching carefully!) until sauce caramelizes, 3 minutes.
5. Serve with ranch.
