Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Mix the barbecue sauce and honey in a bowl until fully combined.
Brush the wings with the honey barbecue sauce after baking.
Return the glazed wings to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to caramelize.
