Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds chicken drumettes or wings
• 1/2 tablespoon seasoned salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup hot sauce (adjust based on desired spiciness)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the chicken drumettes or wings in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle them with seasoned salt and toss until they are evenly coated.
3. Place the seasoned chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
4. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, combine water, hot sauce, honey, garlic powder, and melted butter. Whisk together until well combined.
6. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Remove the cooked chicken wings from the oven and transfer them to a clean mixing bowl.
8. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken wings in the bowl. Toss to coat the wings evenly in the sweet and spicy sauce.
9. Return the sauced chicken wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes to allow the sauce to penetrate and caramelize.
10. Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings as an appetizer or a main course with your favorite dipping sauces and sides.
