Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
by
Michael Symon
Crispy oven-baked chicken wings with the crunch of fried, thanks to Michael Symon’s baking powder trick. The wings are seasoned with kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic, and cayenne, then baked hot until golden and crisp. They’re finished in a sticky-sweet glaze made with Blues Hog BBQ sauce, hot honey, mustard, and butter — a perfect balance of heat, tang, and richness that clings to every bite.
