Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 pounds chicken wings
  • 1.0 tablespoon allspice
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 3.0 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2.0 tablespoons honey
  • 1.0 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 0.0 teaspoon salt
  • 0.0 teaspoon pepper
  • 0.0 teaspoon fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to avoid sticking.
  • Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve that crispy texture. Place the wings in a large mixing bowl.
  • Make the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, combine the allspice, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the spices.
  • Season the wings: Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken wings. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  • Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
  • Bake the wings: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even crisping. The wings should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  • Prepare the glaze: While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
  • Glaze the wings: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle the prepared glaze over the hot wings, tossing them gently to ensure they are well coated.
  • Final crisping (optional): If you prefer an extra crispy finish, return the glazed wings to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve: Remove the wings from the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

Adjust cayenne pepper to taste for spiciness.
