My Favorite Game-Day Recipe: Smoky Sweet Chili Wings

Nothing says football like crispy wings — and this version brings smoky, sweet, and a little heat. Perfect for prepping ahead of kickoff!

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Salt + pepper to taste

• ½ cup sweet chili sauce

• 2 tbsp honey

Directions

1. Prep & Season: Pat wings dry. Mix paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper — toss wings until evenly coated.

2. Bake: Arrange on a rack over a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for ~40 minutes (flip halfway) until crispy.

3. Make Sauce: In a small pan, warm sweet chili sauce with honey, soy sauce, and sriracha until slightly thickened.
