Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper until well coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze by combining brown sugar, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the glaze over the wings and toss until well coated.
  6. Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cajun brown sugar chicken wings!
