Better than any restaurant version, this crispy baked chicken wings recipe is made with the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. Finger-licking delicious, it’s the best option for gameday snacks, holiday appetizers, and weeknight dinners everyone will adore!
Preheat oven to 400F, and place rack on the upper middle position. Line a large baking sheet with foil, and grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
Using dry paper towels, pat the wings dry. This step is important to ensure crispy wings.
In a bowl, combine the oil, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the wings in the bowl, and toss to combine, coating thoroughly.
Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not over-crowd. Bake 45-50 minutes or until they are browned and crisp.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Immediately remove from the heat, and set aside.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl, and pour the sauce on top. Toss to coat.
Garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
