🔥 Juicy Saucy Chicken Wings + Crispy Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients (2–3 servings)
For the wings
1 kg (2 lb) chicken wings
1 tbsp baking powder (for crispiness – trust me)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp oil
For the sauce (juicy + saucy)
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp hot sauce (optional but 🔥)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
For the crispy potatoes
4 medium potatoes, chopped into chunks
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt + pepper
Optional: rosemary or mixed herbs
👩🍳 How To Make It
1️⃣ Get everything crispy
Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F
Line a tray with foil + rack (or just foil if you don’t have a rack)
Wings:
Pat wings super dry (this is key). Toss with baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and oil.
Spread them out on the tray — don’t overcrowd.
Potatoes:
Toss potatoes with oil, spices, salt, pepper, and herbs.
Put them on a separate tray (or same tray, different side).
Bake both for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway.
2️⃣ Make the juicy sauce
In a pan on medium heat:
Add butter, garlic → cook 30 seconds
Add honey, ketchup, soy sauce, hot sauce, vinegar
Simmer 3–5 minutes until thick & glossy
Taste and adjust:
More honey = sweeter
More hot sauce = spicier
More soy = saltier
3️⃣ Sauce the wings (the best part)
Toss hot crispy wings in the sauce
Put them back in the oven for 5–7 minutes to get sticky and caramelized
Optional flex: sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
😮💨 Final Touch
Serve wings hot and saucy next to those crispy potatoes.
Dip options if you wanna go wild:
Garlic mayo
Ranch
Extra sauce from the pan
🔁 Easy Flavor Swaps (if you’re feeling creative)
BBQ Honey: swap ketchup for BBQ sauce
Korean-style: add 1 tsp gochujang to the sauce
Lemon Pepper wings: skip sauce, toss wings in butter + lemon + pepper
If you tell me what flavors you like (sweet, spicy, garlicy, smoky), I’ll tailor a custom wing sauce just for you 😏
