Ingredients
For the wings:
2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
For the Spider Bite Sauce:
1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s or similar)
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
Instructions
Prep the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Place on a baking rack over a foil-lined tray.
Bake 'Em: Roast the wings for 40–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Make the Bite: While the wings bake, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Toss to Coat: Once the wings are out of the oven, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the hot “Spider Bite” sauce over them. Toss until evenly coated.
Optional Grill Finish: Want an extra charred finish? Grill the sauced wings for 2–3 minutes per side to caramelize the sauce.
