In a small bowl, whisk together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne until combined.
In a large bowl, pat dry chicken wings with a paper towel then sprinkle with baking powder to make sure they stay dry.
Then sprinkle on seasoning mix in two intervals until chicken is thoroughly coated.
For Baking
Line all the wings onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the wings and flip them to the other side. Return to the oven and bake for another 25 minutes. While wings are baking, prepare the Honey BBQ Sauce.
For The Honey BBQ Sauce
Add butter to a medium sized pot over medium heat until it melts then add garlic and cook until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
Next add bbq sauce, honey, Florida’s Natural Orange Juice, brown sugar and cayenne pepper.
Allow the sauce to simmer then decrease the heat to a low and continue stirring allowing the flavors to come together, for about another 10 minutes.
To Assemble
When the wings have finished baking, air frying or grilling, place them all into a large bowl. Pour the Orange Honey BBQ Sauce over the wings, then toss the wings to completely coat.
Now return the wings to an oven or air fryer to get that sauce super sticky. Add them to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for about 7-8 minutes on 400 degrees or in the air fryer at 400 degrees. The sauce should be sticky, caramelized and bubbly.
