Ingredients

• 2 Cups buttermilk
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) hot pepper sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 20 Chicken wings, divided
• 3 Cups cornflakes cereal, crushed
• 0.5 Cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Cup cornmeal
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 1 Cup honey
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) crushed red pepper flakes

Steps

1. Whisk together buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl. Pour the mixture into a resealable plastic bag, add chicken wings, coat well, and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray.
3. In a bowl, combine crushed cornflakes, flour, and cornmeal. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove chicken wings from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard the remaining marinade.
4. Press wings into the cornflake mixture to coat thoroughly. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets and coat the tops with cooking spray.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and the meat easily pulls from the bone.
6. While the wings are baking, combine honey and pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium heat until the honey thins. Keep warm until the wings are ready.
7. Once baked, place wings in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the honey sauce. Toss until evenly coated. Enjoy your Spicy Honey Crunch Chicken Wings!
