**Hot Hot Habanero Wings**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 lbs chicken wings
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup habanero hot sauce
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon honey
– Sliced green onions and ranch dressing for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the wings are evenly coated.
3. Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded to allow even crisping.
4. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
5. While the wings are baking, in a small saucepan, combine the habanero hot sauce, melted butter, and honey. Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
6. Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
7. Pour the prepared habanero sauce over the wings and toss them until each wing is coated in the spicy and flavorful sauce.
8. Place the sauced wings back on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
9. Once the wings are nice and glazed, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Serve your Hot Hot Habanero Wings with a sprinkle of sliced green onions on top for a pop of freshness and a side of cool ranch dressing for dipping to balance out the heat.
These Hot Hot Habanero Wings are sure to be a hit at your next gathering, adding a fiery twist to your usual wing recipe.
