Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is crucial for achieving that coveted crispy skin.
• Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray. This will help prevent sticking and make for easy clean-up.
• In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
• Place the seasoned wings on the baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not crowded, as this will ensure they bake evenly and get crispy.
• Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
• While the wings are baking, combine the chicken broth or water, hot sauce, brown sugar or honey, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined, then simmer for a few minutes.
• Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the hot sauce mixture until they are fully coated.
• For extra crispiness, return the coated wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Once they’re done, let them cool for a few minutes and then serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and sides.
