Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet or two medium baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Pat chicken wings very dry with a paper towel then place them in a large bowl. Make sure to dry them before putting them in the bowl, not when they're already in the bowl.
lb chicken wings
In a small bowl whisk together salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, and baking powder. Sprinkle the spices over the wings, then use your hands to evenly coat them.
tsp kosher salt
tsp black pepper
tsp garlic powder
tbsp baking powder
tsp cayenne
Lay them in an even layer on the baking sheet(s), making sure not to crowd them. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the wings, then continue cooking for 15-20 minutes or until the wings are crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
When the wings have 5-10 minutes left, make the hot honey sauce. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat and add the sliced jalapeños and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper (if using). Cook until just fragrant then remove from heat.
tbsp butter
sprinkle crushed red pepper
red jalapeños or fresno chile peppers
Stir in the honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, dijon, and season with salt. Make sure to continue stirring until the sauce emulsifies and becomes smooth and consistent.
cup honey
tsp apple cider vinegar
tsp dijon mustard
tsp Worcestershire sauce
Remove wings from oven, add them to a clean large bowl, then top with the hot honey sauce, using tongs or a large spoon to toss well. Plate, top with additional sliced red jalapeño, crushed red pepper, salt, and serve immediately.
