Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Honey BBQ Chicken Wings:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Wings: Rinse and pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This ensures they will crisp up nicely in the oven.
3. Make the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully mixed.
4. Marinate the Wings: Place the wings in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the wings, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
5. Line the Baking Sheet: Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them achieve a crispier texture.
6. Arrange the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade and place them in a single layer on the wire rack. Do not overcrowd them.
7. Bake the Wings: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 40-45 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure that the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
9. Serve with Extra Sauce: If desired, brush additional BBQ sauce on the wings during the last few minutes of baking for extra flavor.
10. Garnish and Enjoy: Once fully baked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then serve hot.
