Cooking Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. If using an air fryer or convection oven, reduce the heat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place a cooling rack over top to fit.
• Add the wing sections to a large bowl and dry well with paper towels. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat.
• Arrange the wings on the cooling rack over the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, and avoid crowding the wings, or they will steam instead of crisp up.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings reach desired crispiness and reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.
• While the wings cook, prepare the hot honey orange sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, orange zest, and apple cider vinegar.
• Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it boil for 3-5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine cornstarch and cold water in a separate container and whisk until smooth.
• Very slowly, while whisking constantly, drizzle in the cornstarch slurry a little at a time, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
• Remove sauce from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• After wings are done cooking, toss them in the hot honey-orange sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
