These oven-baked chicken wings deliver all the crunch of deep-fried bar wings without any seed oils or refined sugars. A quick toss in avocado oil and spices creates an irresistibly crisp skin before they are drenched in a buttery, honey-kissed hot glaze. It is the ultimate finger food for game days or casual weeknight dinners.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, placing an oven-safe wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Ensure the chicken wings are thoroughly dry by blotting firmly with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps in the oven.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken wings, avocado oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, tossing until each piece is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Arrange the wings in a single, spaced layer on the prepared wire rack and bake for 35 minutes, turning them over at the 20-minute mark.

  5. 5

    Switch the oven to broil for the final 3 minutes of cooking to blister and deeply crisp the chicken skin.

  6. 6

    While the wings finish broiling, combine the hot sauce, grass-fed ghee, and raw honey in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes, whisking until melted, emulsified, and glossy.

  7. 7

    Transfer the piping hot wings to a heatproof bowl, pour the warm glaze over top, and toss until thoroughly coated, then serve immediately.

Tip

For the crispiest skin, pat the wings dry and leave them uncovered on a wire rack in the refrigerator for an hour before roasting. Leftovers reheat best in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 5 minutes.
